+1. Except with same-age DS it’s flowers, bushes and trees.

DS is almost 2.5 and can count to a thousand. He doesn’t get that 4 is more than 2 but can recite the sequence perfectly.

Those are neither advanced or funny. You should have said “designs his tuxedos” and “plays Rachmaninov while eating sushi”. Bach can be quite easy to play on a toy piano.

LOL! What if I told you he trained out pet monkey to do the same? Huh?

Reading. Not word identification - reading.

My 10M old climbs the stairs. I put her on some stairs at a playground recently and she sort of froze, didnt go up or down. Then a few days ago she was crawling around the house with me behind her. She confidently crawled over to the stairs and started climbing, lifting each hind leg up to the next riser and hoisting. She went about halfway up the flight before she got tired. She has no sense of what is behind her or how precarious her position; we have ordered gates!!

Okay, that is cool!

My nephew could hit a slow pitch at 23 months. He did turn out to be a baseball player.

That is amazing!

Vocabulary. He loves words and talking! He routinely uses words like horizontal, precarious, fret, cantilevered. Tell him a word and definition once and he incorporates it.

Just for fun, guys.

My 2.5 yr old is strong and can actually vacuum. He does a good job!
