Jakey Learns His Numbers?

Seriously? I worked with Maddie, who turns five on Thursday, almost every single day the entire summer to help her recognize her numbers. We played this game tons of times. It's called Zingo and you match the number of objects in the picture to the proper numeral.
Jake, 2 1/2 years old, hung out next to us and I thought he was just enjoying the slide action of the number dispenser. It's been four or five weeks since we last had it out and today he asked to play. That kid knows 1, 2, 8, 0 and 10. Maybe next summer he can tutor Maddie for me. There are advantages of being he oldest because your parents have more time and energy to teach and do things with you. Looks like we are starting to see the benefits to being younger. You learn stuff just by random exposure.
