Twenty-Seven Months

I've totally let these monthly updates get out of hand, and the longer I leave it, the less I want to do it because I've forgotten what she's learned this month.  So this one is gleaned from the videos I shot of her in the past month; only a couple of them unfortunately, but in my opinion they're hilarious :).

I only made three notes this month about what she can do. The first is that she's learned to count backwards from ten to one.  I didn't teach her it, and I know they only count forwards as far as number five in the group she's in at nursery, so I asked her where she'd learned it, and she said 'It's from Goofy on Mars', which is a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode. See, TV can be educational! Every time I've got the video camera out and asked her to count backwards, though, she's refused. Typical ;).

Secondly, she can count forwards to twenty - just about.  She's very confident but she almost always misses out number sixteen. Oh well. It's not that important, is it?

Thirdly, she's slowly learning the art of sharing. We quite often hear 'And now it's my turn...', 'And now it's your turn...' etc. But more often we hear 'No Mummy! It's mine!'

Here she is singing along to the theme tune from one of her favourite shows, Timmy Time: -

And, although I am ashamed to admit it, here she is putting into practice some choice words she learned from me...

Whoops! Actually every time she goes up pick up that particular bottle she says 'I go get on evans sake.' Double whoops!
