     Topic: Bizarre mummy brag - how can this be?!?!     Posted: 25 February 2008 at 6:00pm | 
 
 
  
   
   
   Last night Caitlin was playing with her dolls house that we made her for her 1st birthday, to decorate it we put numbers on the roof and doors...
 
She was babbling away like she always does and then starts, what sounded like, counting!
 I thought "nah - just a coincidence" then I asked her where was number 7?" and she points to the number 7 looks back at me and grins!   and I ask her where the 8 is and she says as clear as anything "eight" and points to the number 8!     
What the?!?!?!?  How on earth would she know that?!?!  We haven't even attempted to do numbers with her, the only letters she kind of knows are the ones of her name that are on her bedroom door which we show her and spell out all the time!
 So - do I call Mensa now or leave it a week?

   Way to go Caitlin!!    It just blows me away what they seem to pick up without being 'taught'.

   Ooh she's a clever one, your Caitlin!  Enjoy the mummy brag... you've worked hard for it!  (even though she did do a sneaky on you, learning those numbers)!
