Number 1,2,3

Maximus is learning to recognise the numbers in a unstructured learning experiences. Most of the time we will be talking to him about the numbers on the Computer keyboard (started by his daddy). Eventually, he is able to recognise some numbers when he sees them and say those numbers out loud. I hardly correct him and allow him to say whatever from his perspective. He will tend to get confuse (sometimes) between number 3 and the letter g which I can understand from his perspective since the number 3 and letter g look much alike.
I am glad that he has such good memory to store his knowledge. Being a MI trained person, I am sure that my boy is a very visual spatial intelligent person. He learns from looking, visualising and looking at the pattern. That explains his ability to compare things and apply his knowledge.
This video was taken in the event when he was reading the calendar on the wall. Every time when we pass by to go up or down the stairs he will tell me the number on the calender. It's amazing to see how he learns by himself in an unstructured learning environment.
I like it when he says that the number 10 as "1 and letter O".
