Lego is learning the concept of two. He knows he has two hands, two eyes, two feet, etc. He also knows that when I say “one,” he should say, “two.” So I figured I should try teaching him how old he is. Here’s how the conversation went:
Me: How old is Lego? Lego is one! How old is Lego? Lego is one! How old is Lego? (pause)
Lego: Big!
Me: Yes, you are SO big! How old are you? You are one.
Lego: Two.
Me: No, you’re not two yet. You’re one.
Lego: Eight.
Me: No, silly boy. Not eight. One.
Lego: One.
Me: Good job! How old are you?
Lego: Two.
I just wanted to add that he nows says “one” every time we ask him how old he is. And sometimes he even holds up one finger.
Aw, cute! What a brilliant kid.
I wonder why he likes eight so much. He kept saying it the other day when I was counting something with him.
Truly a brilliant child. The fact that he knows his numbers at all shows that he truly is amazing.
