Alexandria, understands concept of more

Last year, I saw Alexandria, a 16-month-old girl, who was able to tell quantities of 1, 2, and 3. Her mother placed one white Mega Bloks (MB), two yellow MB, and 3 blue MB on top our examining table. The white is on the left side, the yellow at the middle, and the blue at the right side. There was a space of about four inches between each group.

The mother asked Alexandria, "What has the most?" she pointed at the 3 blue MB. Then she said, "Where is one?" and she pointed at the one white MB. "Where is two?" she pointed at the 2 yellow blocks, and "Where is three?" she pointed at the 3 blue blocks.

On her 15 month old check up Alexandria could point at 12 different parts of her body. And she was starting to potty train.

Not many 2 or 3 years old could count 1 to 3 with pointing one-on-one objects. Alexandria is very advanced in her cognitive and language development.
