Apparently she can count to 15. With no prompting. Something we just discovered. I have asked her to count with me many, many times in the past. Sometimes she would join me and say 1, 2, but most of the time she just ignored my request. This weekend, I hear her counting away to herself, who knows how long she has actually had this skill.
She also knows most of the alphabet, another thing she decided to keep to herself. Until we were trying to get her to sleep one night and she was doing everything she could to keep herself awake... including singing the ABCs. Again, I have asked her to sing it with me many times and she just ignored my request.
Silly me, assuming her refusal to humor me meant she didn't know these things. Apparently she just likes to master it completely before sharing with anyone else! It is a bit strange to not hear the practicing, but I guess we all learn differently :-)
Just a cute note about this picture; she picked out the elephant cookie as a special treat but then decided not to eat it because it was "too pretty"
