Rachel has really surprised me with her number sense recently. It's amazing how she figures these things out. I don't really make a point out of doing simple math/counting things with her. I should probably be better about it since she seems ready to figure these things out. The few examples I can think of all have to do with the numbers 2 and 3.
- A few weeks ago the girls were in the bathtub and Andy walked into the bathroom saying, "There's my cutie", as he was looking straight at Audrey. Well, he quickly corrected himself and said something to the fact that he should say, "There are my two cuties", because Rachel was in the bath as well. A heartbeat later Rachel corrected Andy even further and informed him that he had three cuties, because Mommy counts as well. Thanks Rachel! :)
- The other day we went to the park and I took along a bottle of water from the fridge. When Rachel asked for a drink she was surprised that it was cold. I told her it was cold because I had gotten it out of the fridge. So, then she said, "Well, that means there's two left in the fridge". And she was exactly right. There had been three, but we had one at the park with us. This one really floored me!
- This morning Rachel wanted to drink out of her princess cup because she had noticed a family that we went to the beach with last week had the same kind of cups. She said, "Ashley has one, Kate has one, I have one, and that makes three".
