We just had one of those "I didn't know you could do that!" moments. Hanni (2y6m), who spent an entire year getting from the concept of "two" to the concept of "three," just did spontaneous one-to-one counting of a row of seven things, with complete accuracy and confidence.
Unsure whether this was unusual, I got on the web. Ack! Apparently the first FOUR MONTHS of kindergarten are spent on the numbers 1-10! Is this for real? Maybe I spend too much time on this forum, but do five-year-olds typically not yet understand the single-digit numbers?
If it is for real, I don't see how anything except homeschooling is going to be realistic for her.
