Counting

Isaac has been counting a lot lately. he counts everything, his fingers things he sees, everything.
Right now he's numbers go in this order, 1 2 3 9 6 4 always in that order. Yesterday and today he has started to throw 11 in there after 4.
It's so neat to hear him count all on his own, I've never pushed him or tried to get him to do it, he just wants to.

Just letting him learn on his own as he goes. Sometimes I ask him if he wants me to count with him and he usually says, "yes". And he waits and listens to the order of my numbers. It's really neat to know that he's learning this because he wants to, not because I'm trying to get him learn it.




Dinosaur egg


Sam found a dinosaur egg at Micheal's that you put in water and it hatches over a few days. Isaac loved this, it was very exciting to check on it first thing in the morning and through out the day. Of course it's tough to be patient when you see a little dinosaur peeking out at you.




I have to say for the dollar it was, this was a great little toy. The dinosaur is actually quite sturdy. We did this experiment a while ago and this little dino is still around and in one piece.
