Counting, and the alphabet

Baby Zoe,

Sitting on the couch, reading a book, as we often do, I asked: "Zoe, how many buckets are on this page?" You pointed at each one, and counted "one, two, three." Also, you almost mastered the alphabet from A-Z.

Papa, I, and the Sesame Street have been eager to teach you the numbers and the alphabet. Don't think it's all work and no fun. We bought colorful letters and numbers that stick on the bathroom wall. We sing the ABCs during bath time, and you enjoy it.

You used to resist our attempt to stretch your foot to lengthen your Achilles tendon. One day papa started singing the alphabet as he did the stretching. When he was done, you offered your other foot, and asked him to sing again, and again, switching feet with each replay. This is how we discovered that you liked to sing the alphabet. Over time, you joined in the song, and now, you can sing almost all of it on your own.

Love,
Mommy.
