We have been teaching Ern counting 1,2,3 in our daily routine.
We will count when we:
1) Walking up/down the staircase - i count 1-10 for 2 times. Actually, the steps in our house don't have 20 steps, i just make up the number. I will make sure I count till 10 when we reach the middle platform and jump once. Ern will grin whenever I do that.
2) Lift/carry her up from the bed/car seat - this one, we only count 1-3 to give her an 'indication' so that she can put in energy to get up as well. When she was 3+months, we used this method to lift her body up from sleeping position (by holding her hands).
3) Place the Ikea's Mula Bead Rollercoaster in front of her. This one havoc!! Instead of moving the bead or let us count, she will move away our hands and EAT the 'pathway' (sorry, don't know what is it call, but it's the string that move the bead). I will write a post separately about it.
