Counting 11, 12, 13...

I've noticed Renee's been writing her 10s and 20s the other way round, that is the 2nd no. first, e.g. 12, she'll write the 2 first... I tried to correct her verbally whenever I spotted/could. I saw her did it again, whilst writing on her own(like real) on Thursday night and thus, after our 'fun-time' after dinner, I decided to do abit of 'correcting work' with her tonight. After her shower, I told her to bring out her white board and markers and I began to guide her on the correct way of writing the numbers/its sequence, like 13 - 1 shld come first and since she's also writing the nos. 2, 5, 7 from the bottom up, I went through with her on the correct stroke(I hope I'm not wrong either! but I tried not to follow the rule hard-fast 'cos I know writing with the left hand is not easy either, in terms of direction).

Not sure if it's because Renee writes/draw with her left hand, she still writes in mirror direction at times(it's amazing just looking at the letters and even the words she's learnt(started by daddy, it hadn't occurred to me to teach her spelling yet hahaha) recently written this way) but since the last time I corrected her, I see less of it now.
