Medora's first English words: one, two, three

Medora said her first English words today! We knew that she can count to 5 in Mandarin (our guide told us this after she heard Medora counting her stacking cups). So we've been working on counting in English the last couple days.

Today, after swimming, we were taking a leisurely stroll back to the room when she wanted to stop at an outside table. So we all sat down and she was working with her stacking cups. She lined up her cups and pointed at each one in turn and said "1 -2 - 3". She's a smart cookie!
