Learning to Count

This is a picture of Matt reading to Taylor on Mother's Day.

I often work with Taylor on counting. She likes to start with "3" and go directly to "7, 8." She likes 7 and 8 and usually always keeps them together. She rarely starts with "one." She occasionally counts from "6" to "12." I was very surprised the first time she did that!

Today we were at the store and she had some little fruit snacks she was snacking on. She was counting them. Then, I realized she was counting in Spanish..."cuatro, cinco, seis." I know it was 4-5-6 in Spanish, but not sure if I'm spelling that correctly. All that "Dora the Explorer" is paying off. Taylor loves to watch Dora. We DVR many episodes so we have them available. She will say, "watch Dora." Then we say, "Do you want to watch Dora?" And she says, "Okay." As if it were our idea.
