That's awesome......I'm not kidding when I tell you that Sawyer is only now doing exactly that! (He'd be the polar opposite from M- intensely disinterested in learning about letters and such.)<BR/><BR/>I love Super Why! If M likes shows like that, and you are inclined to let him watch now and then, he might really like "Between the Lions" (also on PBS and probably the best show on TV educationally) and Leap Frog's DVD series: "Letter Factory", "Word Factory", and a few others. My kids love these, but we're still on letter factory here! :)<BR/><BR/>OH, and maybe M can read Hop on Pop to you at night like Sawyer reads it to me! We're going to have to start comparing notes with my 5.5 year old and your just-2 year old!!! That's amazing- and really exciting!!! <BR/><BR/>And, whoever said that he should start learning another language early may be right.....if he shows and affinity for picking up language, then the earlier the better on a second language! <BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see what he's reading in a year!! :)Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327872107826129535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-17052085380225188792009-01-31T21:03:00.000-07:002009-01-31T21:03:00.000-07:00Thats amazing!

Hehe!<BR/><BR/>Its neat to see how they develop (especially so quickly) and Kobi's since of direction always has amazed me. He remembers buildings and which roads to drive on left, right, etc and these are places we haven't been for weeks. I swear to God if you ever visit MD Kobi could direct your driving from the back seat and I bet baby Matthew could read the signs!

I agree, if only our toddlers would love to share?<BR/><BR/>p.s. I am glad to know I have other frugal buddies out there. I either borrow movies from friends or use Netflix. We have Netflix so dh can have DVDs to use to test systems he installs.Room for Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13689442916160755101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-6934775968707297632009-01-30T12:03:00.000-07:002009-01-30T12:03:00.000-07:00oops, i had meant to say "leery" not "weary"...cha...oops, i had meant to say "leery" not "weary"...changed it now. reminds me of the movie bull durham where tim robbins is singing wooly instead of weary! see how i shouldn't be the mother of a smart kid?Tishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05025104225794869065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-74559909547135687342009-01-30T11:18:00.000-07:002009-01-30T11:18:00.000-07:00That's incredible....you may have a lil genius on ...That's incredible....you may have a lil genius on your hands!<BR/><BR/>KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206781140391499889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-39140734508031862152009-01-30T11:02:00.000-07:002009-01-30T11:02:00.000-07:00Shut the front door - this kid is a genius!

When I was a kid, my mom's best friend had a son who was a few months older than me named Scott. Well, it seems little Scotty was reading books like A Pocket for Courderoy (which I still cannot spell at 29!) when he was just over 2. I will tell you that he went on to be a VERY smart adult who went to and graduated from an Ivy League college and Law School. I'm not saying that will be M, I'm suggesting that you think about starting a college fund for him NOW! :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148039363496292683.post-59196183502768500772009-01-30T10:38:00.000-07:002009-01-30T10:38:00.000-07:00Wowee... it looks like M. will only reinforce the ...Wowee... it looks like M. will only reinforce the stereotype that all Asians are smartypants bookworms ;) You've obviously got a very advanced kid on your hands who will probably require some advocacy on your part when he becomes school-aged.
