One day my 4 yr daughter came back from school, took a paper and wrote numbers from 1-100. We were amazed because she had not even attempted to write till 10 before that. She recognized the numerals but had never attempted to write them.
The next day my hubby told her "If you write the numbers from 1-100 today once again without seeing, I'll get you a surprise".
My daughter was little disappointed and said "Daddy I can write 1-100 but I dont know to write with my eyes closed"
Daddy was totally puzzled at the way the kids think. He said "Dear, I meant you have to write the numbers yourself without copying from some other book".
Isn't it amazing how the kids can interpret things????
Finally she wrote the numbers and she did a great job as a first timer.
