As Easy as 1-2-3

A few months ago, I discovered that Wyatt was really interested when I would count things. I wasn't going to sit the child down with flashcards, but I figured he would catch on soon enough if I counted things like stairs when we were going up them, or asking him at snack time "Would you like one cracker, or two?" (You can guess what the typical answer was!!)

The other night he surprised me in the bathtub by saying "Froggy," after pointing to the froggy on the tub spout. He then pointed to another frog in the bath and said " 'nother froggy - two froggies" None of this is consistent of course, but it was pretty exciting to hear!! So, here is the only video I have been able to capture of Wyatt counting to 10, which he has started to do all the time - I think he's a bit camera shy, so you'll have to turn the volume up! (Yes, he also has blue marker all over his face!!)
