Well actually he does know number 3... following his birthday.
I don't spend any time with him learning letters and numbers. He can count objects up to 10 and that's enough for me.
I have friends who boast about their children of similar ages (and much younger, of course!) who know their entire alphabet and can also write lots of numbers and letters.
One of my friend's sons only knows capital letters which quite frankly is ridiculous as he'll have to start learning them from scratch at school.
He probably does some letter and number work at nursery (not at pre-school til September), but if he just plays then that's fine by me.
My mum thinks I should be spending time with him encouraging him to hold a pencil properly and do lots of drawing -he's not interested in drawing!
He loves catching woodlice and building robots out of lego... and that suits me just fine!
AIBU?

To be not the slightest bit bothered that my 3 year old doesn't recognise any letters or numbers?
