Our Little Sarah is becoming a Big Little Sarah: Learning Capitals of Countries

Inspired by the reports of a 2 year old being able to recite the capitals of all the countries, Daniel decided to teach Sarah a few capitals a week during our car rides. Here is a short excerpt:

Daddy: "Ok Sarah. Daddy will teach you the capitals of the countries. Let's start with China. The capital of China is Beijing"
Sarah: "Jing"
Daddy: "The capital of Philippines is Manila"
Sarah: "nilalala" [Daddy and Mommy and Rubi laughs]
Daddy: "What is the capital of China?"
Sarah: "Xie Xie" [Mommy roars with laughter. Our dear Sarah associates mandarin with all things to do with China.]

As most teachers know, lessons don't always go according to plan. But we sure had an insight to the mind of Sarah that day.
