Just interested as madam Indigo is 20 months and can count to 10 :) Not just parrot fashion as give her some things to look at and she can count how many there are :)

Just amazed as I thought it was a bit early ?

Perhaps she takes some of our Genes as we both are ex Accountants :D :D

Wow you have a genius. My daughter (now 11) could count to ten when she was around the same age. Don't think she inherited our genes though - I am a full time mum (ex secretary) and my husband makes Jaffa cakes. My son is also 20 months thinks he is counting, when he points to his bricks he counts everything 2, 3, 2, 3 and so on. He refuses to say any other numbers.

Must remember to beat him harder. (Only joking) :-D

Hi Lucy....i think my daughter was around the same age :-) they take you by suprise....dont they??

It has ! :)

It is amazing everyday something new ! :)

She has already started to answer back :rolleyes: :D

Just wait until she knows her colours - and decides which colour she likes......  Ella, in Hong Kong, decided, just as she started a Kindergarten class (which had a uniform), that she would only wear pink...... trouble was, uniform was yellow pinafore over blue dress!    As she could, by then dress herself, Sarah would get her there, dressed (only just!) - for Ella to disrobe once in class!!!

She was the one little girl, in the heat of Hong Kong, wearing pink tights and tee shirt, under her uniform :D :D

LOL @ Lucy.....my daughters 6 years old, and the other week she came to me and said "mum i need to lose some weight" i just looked at her and said "why Beth" she replied "Because my tummy's too big and i can't see my f***y" :-D :-D :-D

My eldest was a bit of a genius...he started to read at 2 1/2 and when he started school at 4 1/2 he could read ANYTHING!! He was a 'free reader' within the first week LOL. I never taught him to start with ....he picked it up himself but once we discovered his 'gift' we obviously encouraged him

Ditto Margot with the colours!

My son had his bedroom decorated recently, and he decided he wanted pink and purple! We talked him out of it, saying those colors are for little girls not big boys!

Last week I took him bowling for the first time, he wouldn't use the lightest ball because it was pink and for little girls!

my daughter has a mild form of dyspraxia, could not count to 10 let alone 20, could not tell the time,could not string sentances together in a book etc etc, she is 10 the school had tried loads of things , then a miracle took place in the form of AGILITY, she wanted a go at this with my border collie 3 months into agility and four shows later she has got placed at every show in with juniors and adults, she can now count to 20 as she has to find her way around a course, she has to find her ring and know what order she is running in, she fills in the forms for shows and she has had to learn the time so she does not miss the  class, people at our dog club have commented on how well behaved she has become not so fustrated at things, she can give out change at the club and add prices up, she can write peoples names down on the sheets of paper at club and give people messages, this was all impossible three months ago, she has loads more confidence in her self, the school was brilliant with her, but she found something she could do herself AGILITY and because it was something she wanted to do, she has come on in leaps and bounds we are so proud of her , and we tell her that every day.

That is absolutely wonderful!   Just shows that learning can take different directions, but she is getting there!

Margot

Hi Carol...that bought tears to my eye's :-) your daughter is a special girl

Carol

Carol,

You have a special girl there, and she has a special Mum :)

Wow Carol, That must be some achivment she has made then.  Goes to show you can only learn if you really want to, and clearly your daughter really wanted to do agility.  I bet you think agility is a god send?

And well done on all her results. 

My son was reading some words at 2 and by the time he was 3 I had him reading the chart on the dentist wall while my daughters teeth were getting looked at. he could all ready add a bit... hard to remember back that far... Now he's too busy wanting to play with friends then do his homework :(

I always remember being astounded when my about to turn 3 year old son said to me 'Mum 7 add 5 makes 12 doesn't it'  I had to think about it :)
