Tate loves "school" and feels responsible that Sammy learns to like it, too, so he will be smart (which he is concerned that he is not!). We told Tate that he - amazingly - knew his numbers and alphabet around the time he was 18 mos old, and even though Sam can't count well, Sam can do lots of other things now that Tate couldn't do when he was only 2: Sam can play ball, ride his tricycle all over the neighborhood very well, feed himself quite well, etc... But Tate can't stand the incorrect counting of 1-10 anymore!! Today, on his own, he set up, literally, a small school and told Sammy to "get over here and learn these numbers." He had a huge chart and Sam had to sit still and listen as Tate pointed out which numbers were which. I think he even learned a little. Now he knows he has two hands and only one nose. (Before the lesson, he had three of everything.)
