Counting!

Amelia has really taken an interest in counting things lately. She re-discovered a "Twelve Days of Christmas" book the other day and loved to count all the things for each day. So, we went to the library on Saturday to find some counting books. One of the books that we got is called "How Many Sharks in the Bath?". Each page is filled with things to count and each number (numeric and written out) to point to after you have counted the item. She is loving this book. And I have learned what areas she needs a little help in. Sometimes her fingers move faster when she is counting than the numbers coming out of her mouth. So we are working on slowing down when we count. I've also noticed that her number recognition isn't as good as her letter recognition. So we are working extra hard on recognizing all the numbers. It is a wonderful thing to be able to help her learn!
