I just wanted to update that my DD who will be 3 in July, and who has never particularly enjoyed numbers, has been counting up a storm. There is no more guessing going on, and there was very little prodding her to take this leap.�
She actually went straight from not really enumerating to (obviously enumerating really well and) adding small sums. It happened almost simultaneously.
She invented a game where she counts objects in a room and then adds two of those objects together.�
This was my language girl tonight: �"There are three pictures on the wall, but if I think the plate is a picture, there are actually four pictures on the wall. And, there are 1,2,3,4,5 lights in the ceiling. So, four plus five is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. Nine!"
Still not her forte, but I have to say this is amazing me.
