I am proud to announce that Jad has finally learned his numbers without much mix-up. I know some kids learn them sooner (and some even later), but hey, he’s 2 and does everything at his pace and his pace only.

With that said, I know you are dying to know my secret to teaching a stubborn little boy. Well, here it is…

Yes, I can hear your gasps about how video games are horrible (especially for a 2 yr old).  But do you see that little number in the bottom left?  It changes throughout the game.  Yesterday, while Jonah took a nap, Jad asked to play, or should I say watch me play and him ‘pretend’.  It had been a rough day with Jonah, so I caved. As we played, that number kept changing and all of a sudden Jad shouts out 6!  5!  4! 3! 2! 1!

I was so very proud and reassured that video games will not ruin his life.

So I’m curious, What are the unique ways your children have overcome milestones?
