my 4 year old is just learning how to write his name. Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but is it normal for him to write letters upside down? :shrug:
And when Vrai couldn't add higher than Doug....vraiblonde said:I used to "dot the ABCs" for Doug when he was little. You do dots in the shape of the alphabet, then the kid just connects the dots. Doug could do this for hours, literally, when he was maybe 3 or so. Then he dotted the ABCs for his sister when she was about that age.
Another thing we did was learn to add and subtract using dominoes. "Here's three dots on this side, and four dots on the other. What do we get when we add them together? Right - so three plus four equals seven."

daddy had a case of beer, there are 3 in the fridge, and 20 empties on the living room floor, daddy still has a half a beer in his hand. How many beers were in the case?
