letters and numbers and animals

mosey's favorite letter is W. he points it out whenever he sees it... and also whenever he thinks about it. "that's a W, mommy!"

he also calls both letters and numbers "letters." when i correct him when they're numbers, he repeats, "mummers."

his favorite song is Old McDonald. he picks the animals (loosely defined) correctly, and his favorite ones are: baby, piggy, elephant (said, etta-phant), chicken, and lion. what a farm this man had! also, we were reading the Jesus Storybook Bible (which he asked to read a couple hours after he'd seen it! and he named the right guy Jesus as soon as he saw him!), we were reading the story of Noah, and he correctly pointed at all the animals and said "animals." do kids really learn categories this early? wow.

our Aunt Glady told us a few weeks ago that he was advanced because he could count in his head without having to touch each object. it was pretty cool, but i think his math skills have kind of declined in the last little bit here. now he seems to always skip the number 4, and he doesn't tell us how many things there are anymore. i guess that's the ebb and flow as they're learning so much so fast.
