Letters and Numbers

Sophia learned to sing her alphabet about the same time she started talking, but later (a month back? two?) we discovered that she can sing it in Spanish up to "n" from hearing on her music table. I think the song is less clear after the "n" or she just likes to say "en - ney." She's on her own since her daddy and I can't keep the song going past that point in the right tune (if we even remember how to say all the letters!).

She also can identify most of her upper case letters and tell you what sound they make thanks to the Leapfrog Letter Factory video. Foam letters in the tub were also a fun way to practice.

Today I was surprised to discover that she can count to at least 8 or 9 in Spanish... I'm thinking it was Dora. We've had a Dora book from the library since last week that counts to seven, but she must have learned it on the show as well to be able to keep going. In English she can only count to about eleven or twelve with any consistency, but she tries to keep going. lol

Not bad for two and a half. It may be more common than I think, but I was surprised by her skills. It is so fun to watch. :)
