Counting

It is amazing how much the younger children pick up just by observing the older ones. Everyone said that's what happens, but it's still pretty cool to witness it myself. (And it's another reason I love homeschool! The younger ones will be at such an advantage academically just by being around when the older ones are learning!)

Today this observation is focused on Tertius. He's just over 2 years old and he already knows all the basic colors and can count to 11. I didn't sit down and teach him this! He just figured it out on his own!

He loves to point out colors everywhere. And it's really cute when he counts because he'll count up to 11 and then start repeating, "10, 11, 10, 11, 10, 11..." Apparently it's time to teach him what comes next.
