Wait, WHAT?

Ok so today we were cleaning up the remnants of lunch, Ian was sitting playing over on the first step, a handful of coasters in his hand. From her chair Melissa counted them as he moved them “One, two, three, four, five…”

And then Ian chimed in, moving the coasters and pointing, but more importantly… counting. Melissa and I fell silent in shock… he said the rest by himself, without any kind of aid —

“Seeks, Heben, Eight, Nine, Ten.”

Melissa and I looked at each other in disbelief and then applauded and cheered. Ian was thrilled with our reaction.

But that’s not all… hopefully I’ll have a video of him trying the alphabet. He doesn’t have that down nearly as well as the above, but you can hear the pieces falling into place.

EDIT – I don’t have the alphabet video yet, but here’s a nice one I took around Christmas time of Ian as a raspberry machine. Enjoy!
