Step right up, folks, and see the Amazing Counting Toddler! Marvel as she counts from one to six at only 17 months old. Witness as she places her toys in order as she counts. Watch her expertly skip the number four, but then repeat five to make up for it.
This is an event not to be missed! All ages welcome!
Seriously, though, I finally caught Cordy on tape as she was practicing her counting. What you won’t see are the other 15 times she counts to six within the five minutes I videotaped.
And you also won’t hear the 1,000 or more times she does it every. single. day. I can’t get her to say anything else at the moment:
“Hi Cordy, how are you?”
“One. Two. Three…”
“Cordelia, would you like some lunch?”
“One! Twwoooo!…”
We’ve also made a little progress with the whole “mama” deal. This morning, as I came downstairs, she rushed over to greet me and said, “da-daaa!” Well, I suppose that’s closer than we were.
that is brilliance right there. Waaaay early on the counting thing, Cordy!
w00t w00t! That is awesome!!! Becca is starting to count a little randomly too! Too fun!
Feh, four is TOTALLY overrated anyway. I love the absolute insistence in her voice, after you say “four” she’s all, uh NO MOM! “FIVE”.
will you stop all this cuteness? You’re kiling my reputation as a cynical, jaded New Yorker.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh she sounds so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Yeah Cordy! (And mommy!) So cute! I like the new look for the blog too!
Our 19 month old started counting to 10 last week, no build up, just seemed ready. But she misses 5! 🙂 It’s just too much fun!
