My 3.2 year old can count to 12, has just learnt to count "things" and can recognise about half the numbers 1-10. Sometimes. Other times, she just seems to blank, like she's never had any idea. She's pretty reliable with 3 (from recent birthday cards, I assume) but any other number she may or may not know/want to say from one minute to the next. She has flashes of "brilliance" - we play a game where you have to collect all the numbers and put them in order, and when I asked her which ones she still needed, she said "3 and 8" without even hesitating. But other times it's like she's never seen these hieroglyphics before in her life. Should I be worried? I'm not really a worrier, but I must say this is starting to get to me! Does/did your toddler do this?
