Last night Caitlin was playing with her dolls house that we made her for her 1st birthday, to decorate it we put numbers on the roof and doors...
She was babbling away like she always does and then starts, what sounded like, counting! I thought "nah - just a coincidence" then I asked her where was number 7?" and she points to the number 7 looks back at me and grins!  and I ask her where the 8 is and she says as clear as anything "eight" and points to the number 8!
What the?!?!?!? How on earth would she know that?!?! We haven't even attempted to do numbers with her, the only letters she kind of knows are the ones of her name that are on her bedroom door which we show her and spell out all the time! So - do I call Mensa now or leave it a week?  ------------- http://lilypie.com">
