My just-turned-2-year-old was walking downstairs tonight when he suddenly and out of the blue counted from one to ten, in order, and correctly. Very pleased with himself, too.

For the past couple of months, he counts like this: "Two-Free-Orange-Six" which I think is so darn cute, I never correct him. In fact, I adopted it, too.

So I have no idea where he learned to count to ten. Must be -- don't shoot me -- from TV. Sesame Street or Super Why or some such.

My boy.
