ABC, 123

| 1 Comment

If you ask Anna a question beginning with "how many" and it is not obviously a low number like 1, 2, or 3, she will reply "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ,10." She also finally will sing the ABC song with me now that she's into singing (I guess that's all that was holding her back before because she has certainly known all of the letters for a long time).

She has really been "singing" songs lately and actually sounds like she's trying to carry a tune instead of reciting. During yesterday's "nap" she sang Old MacDonald with a variety of animals on the farm; Rock-a-Bye-Baby; Row, Row, Row Your Boat; and a couple of others that we listen to/sing on a regular basis.

She is also really into doing the Pat-a-Cake nursery rhyme (among others in her favorite Mother Goose book). She also recites whole books to herself during her "nap." (Her favorites are Bear Snores On and The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear but she throws in a few others from time to time—and I do mean that she recites the whole book.) I think the pigs in her bed (one big one and one to two little ones) must be demanding to hear everything she's ever learned during that two-hour window each day.

You had better get her on the MIT waiting list! What a bright kid! She is so lucky to have parents who read to her.
