So those darn Chicka books have come in handy after all! Yeah, it takes a while to get passed the silly rhyming, but man do the kids learn from these books or what? Matthew now gets on pins and needles for me to read Chicka 123, he LOVES the numbers on the insides of the books. He originally could count to 20. I was stoked that he could count to 20! I remember doing jumping jacks when he finally got to number 20..now, he counts all of the way to 100! And he got this book for Christmas! Of course he can't count to 100 alone without seeing the numbers, but he can point to every single number and tell you what it is, and he always has to shout 100 when he gets to it. He is the smartest boy on the planet! To me, at least!
I will tell you..I was so surprised when he wanted to go past 20, then 30, then 50..and then in a weeks time, he was all of the way to where he is now. He can freely count to 50, and is improving all of the time..I just cannot get over that my almost 3 year old is learning sooo much right now.
Tonight Matthew climbed on my lap and put his arms around me and said, "I gotcha, I got my mommy", and then proceeded to lay there and give me the longest lasting hug there ever was. I had not felt more loved by him then right there in that moment. He can just be the sweetest thing there ever was when he takes the time to sit still. I hated to put him to bed tonight because I was enjoying every single moment with him. I just thank God for him all of the time. Awwwww now I am tearing up thinking of it just now. What a good way to end the post for tonight.
