Spelling and numbers

Julia now also knows how to spell "mom" and "dad". She will take her fridge magnets and spell them out without any help from us. I think we will start working on other simple words like cat, hat, bat, sit, etc. now.

I discovered a new way to help teach Julia her numbers the other day. She loves to help me cook and loves to work the microwave. Normally, I would just have her press the start button, but then I thought having her press in the time would be a great way to teach her numbers. She knows her numbers fairly well already, so this is just reinforcing it. I did notice that she struggled with "zero", probably because when we count, we don't include zero.
