Of course every mother has bias for her child. I am no different. He is the most amazing little dude I know. And part of this is probably do to my complete amazement at his intellect and also, my complete lack of understanding of child development no matter how much I read up on it. What really is probably surprising me the most is, I feel like he is smarter than a lot of 14 year old boys I have had the displeasure of knowing. Which begs the question - when they hit puberty, does something happen to reverse the brain capacity and knowledge learned up to that point? Cause I have to say, if Logan's learning capacity stays on track, he should be accepted to Harvard by the time he is 16. I've got severe problems on how I am supposed to handle this highly intelligent individual. He will push me to the limit nonetheless.
Barely past the age of two and he is already showing empathy. On several occasions to his friends at school. That is supposed to be an age 3 thing. He knows his colors. Can count to five - and to some degree 7 or even 9. And darn near knows the days of the week. And I am not even talking about what he knows in spanish. His memory is starting to freak me out a little bit - he can easily remember something that happened a week ago. He has popped off the next lines in a book (several different books actually) when relevant - especially on a few that had only been read about 10-15 times to him. He has the eyesight of a hawk and the hearing of a bat. There have been things he has seen that it has taken me moments of really searching to find it. And he can spot the moon in the day, or even against street lights. Animals? No problem. The sounds they make? No problem. And he will say any word no matter how complex. Hippopotomus - ippomatamus......brontosaurus.........bontosaurs......triceraptops.....ticeratops.......incognito.......ignito....
Unbelievable what he is capable of. Not to mention......Gogan Funny......he is extremely coordinated as well. Gogan do it....as he says....ok Gogan, go for it buddy. Show mommy what you got.
The why birdie has begun, and of course - he has opinions. LOL And for the most part - I love that he has opinions. I finally get to have a baseline on what he wants. He won't always get to exercise his opinion, but at least I can understand where the little bug wants to go with some things. my biggest frustration is when I just get a no.......or Logan don't want it....as in the case of choosing costumes for Halloween. Well can't you want at least ONE thing Logan????
So here he is at the age of two. Two years old and I already feel like he is a genius. What oh what is three going to bring? I can't even imagine 4 or 5 right now.
But, the ultimate competitor I am - I am up to the challenge on the mommy front - so bring it my little man. Bring your best game. I have the leg up on you know you. I know you are going to challenge me consistently. So I have an advantage in the preparation department. My mother once told me she constantly was having to bluff me - I see that at some point in the near future. Luckily that day is a far time away. But for now, I at a minimum have experience on my side. And I look forward to all the days in the future where you will challenge me to be the best, do the best, and guide you correctly.
