The 2nd Born – Amazes Me
Posted on Feb 18, 2010 08:42:44 AM
My oldest child is on the upside of very very smart. We try not to talk about his intelligence in front him especially when he seems to be following in his father’s footsteps and the every day common things are a bit tougher for him to master. You know, garbage day is EVERY Monday…..no the mail has never run on Sunday’s or Christmas Day…argh…..
Anyway, prior to starting school it was fairly obvious that he had some gifts. The second born refused to even acknowledge that we were trying to teach him anything. He would remain steadfast that he couldn’t count past 4 when in reality, we hear playing hide and seek and counting to 20….sometimes in Spanish. Yea, I know, odd, but, he is going to the be the one like me, he can learn, he can study and learn more and it won’t come naturally but generally speaking it’s not difficult either. And, like me, he too seems to have a keen sense of direction along with other common everyday activities.
However, he cracks me up with his great skills sometimes. For instance, because Walker is constantly explaining rhyming words, diagraphs and more to us, Jace has picked up on it and is constantly asking us or actually telling us about words that rhyme. It’s pretty funny the words he makes rhyme and normally he is right. Occasionally he makes up his own words when it comes to finding a word that rhymes but these 2 little boys simply never cease to amaze me!
So, yes, this is gonna be fun! I hope…
