Lately, my youngest daughter, who will be 3 in less than a month, has been counting more. She'll just do it by herself. She'll say 1-2-3-4-6-7-8. She doesn't seem to quite remember 5. I'll do it with her, but then when she does it again by herself, she'll skip 5.
It's just kind of funny. I'm not too worried about it though. She's only 3. Well, not quite. Either way, she'll get there. It's just cute seeing her count, and skip 5.

well, maybe because four follows five so she might have thought why there are 2 first letters of numbers with F's, so she skipped the five. hahaha! just my wild imagination.

aw that is so cute and funny. my 3yr old nephew recites the alphabet sometimes. he starts with letter E or N then you can imagine what follows.
sometimes letting them watch those videos for kids will help them very much. whenever i try to teach him, he doesnt seem excited about it haha..

It's really cute to see young kids counting. Yes, she is still young, she will always pick up things on her own faster than we realize.
I did not teach my little girl counting as well, but I think she picked it up from her elder brother. It's so funny that they seem to just miss one all the time. Mine always missed the same one too!

What a smart little girl. She'll get the 5 eventually.

When my first child was a baby, Sesame Street started up on TV. It was amazing how quickly the children can learn from repetition and music and puppets...it was wonderful. Your daughter will learn to add the 5, don't worry, she is doing great for a three year old.

All kids do that when their young. It is cute, and nothing to be worried about. She will get it as she grows and keeps doing her numbers. =)
With my oldest I used to worry about her not getting things but then I realized all children learn at different times-but they all learn everything they need to eventually.

It is wonderful that she is doing this on her own and the five will find its way into her list soon enough, very cute.
