Yep! When compared to my son ... I feel a little stupid. I did not remember when I was young, being able to talk or yak like him at 2 and a half (nearly 3). Nor do I posses his memory & deftness at such a young age. Yes, I know ... all parents would like to think that their offspring are geniuses but even if Ryan does not grow up to be Singapore's next Einstein, he is DEFINITELY smarter than me (& his Daddy) ... I can vouch for that!
Of course, I dearly hope all these "smartness" will translate to book-smarts when he goes to school but only God knows! Ryan definitely has the smarts in the memory department & I am also pleased to report, he is also quick at picking up things, is extremely hands-on & very directional & "driving" savvy ... all of which he has inherited from his Papa! I'm glad ... coz I'm none of that ... & many many more.
I do hope he takes after me in the language department - in spelling, vocabulary & memorization. I also hope he picks up more than a couple of (third) foreign languages (French, Spanish, Japanese?). I hope he loves to read. I hope he does better academically ... than both his parents. I hope he does better in life ...
Here is the pic that inspired this ("stupid") post. I caught him placing the numbers (magnetic numbers we placed on the fridge, for him to play with - bought from Daiso) in this order, so I decided to take a pic of it. He was in between changes ... errm, that's why he was shirtless ... haha! Maybe its a fluke ... hell, who cares! All I knew was that, I was happy I managed to get it in print. Yes, though the numbers are not in the right order, its pretty good for a less than 3 year old, who's yet been to pre-school. Don't ya think?
There is hope yet ...
