The learning abilities of kids are really amazing - you dont even know what they learn from where. This is a phase that all children go through, but its quite a revelation for first time parents.
We were quite amazed when, at around 3 years of age, Sid could recognize all the numbers from 0 to 9, even though all that we and his playschool teachers had been trying to get him to recognize, was the alphabet. Soon we realized that he has learnt to recognize numbers from using/being in lifts.
Many of you might have heard the joke where a gambler's son recites the counting as : A, 2, ... 9, 10, J, Q, K. I no longer think that it is a joke. Because, I recently got to hear from Sid this version of the nursery rhyme "Five little monkeys":
5 little monkeys jumping on the bed ...
...
1 little monkey ...
0 little monkeys ...
'Basement' little monkeys ... ?!!
