Mathematical Genius

Matteo can count to two! Well, sort of.

I'm not sure if this is normal or not but Matteo hasn't quite mastered the art of holding up more than one finger yet. It makes it a little confusing to know what he is signing sometimes since many signs require holding up two, three, or four fingers (he's got one and five down just fine) and sometimes doing different things with those fingers. But we've gotten along okay so far with these limitations. Now he's found a way to break through these boundaries.

He was eating lunch today (beans, what else?) and had speared two beans onto the fork and popped them in his mouth. Steve came over and asked how many beans he ate. Matteo held up both of his index fingers- 2 beans!!!!

We've decided Harvard and MIT are a little too far away so Stanford will have to do.
