Last Sunday was my day to sleep late...which means I slept until 7:30, while RJ got up with our alarm clock (LJ) at 6:15. When I came out at 7:30, RJ told me that he had exciting news...LJ had counted to 8 earlier. It went something like this:
RJ was changing LJ's diaper (we are no where close to showing interest in potty training) and LJ pointed to his PJ top and said, "car". To which RJ said, "there isn't just one car on your shirt, there are three." And then LJ counted all the way from 1 - 8 all on his own! RJ was very impressed and I was too, but since I hadn't heard it myself...well, I guess I didn't show the appropriate amount of jubilation.
Later in the day, I asked LJ if he wanted to count to ten and then I said, "one" and he repeated. I said, "two" and he repeated - and then he took over from there and counted all the way to 10! It was VERY exciting to hear!
LJ has books that reinforce counting and Dora is always counting things on her adventures, so we are perplexed as to where he learned this. But...he has always said, "two, two, three" when 'counting' so for him to go all the way to 10...well, we just had no idea he had that in his head! Who knows what else is up there that he just won't share?
