I was wondering at what age do children associate numbers and patterns within numbers?
I think it's fair as father to go ahead and think 'Genius!'

I'm not sure if there is an exact age but it may have to do with interest. My son could recognize and tell you the names of the English letters, both upper and lower case, and number to 10 when he was two. However, my 3 year old daughter's speech is much more advanced for her age than my son's was and she can't tell me anything more than a couple upper case letters.

However, she can tell me exactly who was at daycare, what they said, what they were wearing, what she had for lunch ... My son on the otherhand can't remember any of those things.
