A Quick Learner

The other day I took the kids to the library. They had fun picking out books. Holly even picked out a few board books for Tate. They were counting books. One of the books was really good...it did the usual counting up to 10, but it did more than that. The page after 10, was counting to 20, and then the next one was counting to 50 and the last page was counting to 100.  I was in the kitchen doing something and I heard her on the couch counting out loud, She counted up to 24 with only skipping number"13".  I was pretty impressed. Then I sat down with her and we started counting together. She figured out how to count to 50 in a matter of 10 minutes and I only had to help her with "30", "40", and "50".  Today (6 days after getting the book) she can almost count to 50 all by herself, but she still skips the number "13". Charl says, "Maybe she knows something about that number." Another cute thing was...I told her, "Wow, you learn really fast. Your teachers are going to love teaching you." Then she told me, "I want you to be my teacher." At least she likes me for now....hopefully it lasts.
