- He picked up my swimming suit and walked around with it saying "Mommy's".
- When his daddy pointed to a picture of a lake, Carson looked at him and said "fish."
- One day I described to him what a rocket was because we saw a picture of a toy rocket in one of his books. The next day when he saw a video of fireworks, he said "rocket.
- One day I told him that the characters on a TV show were going to school, and he said "bus."
- If he finds a remote control, he says "TV."
- He often says, "Daddy at work" during the day.
- He can identify these things just by hearing them: airplane, tractor, and birds.
- When we ask him if he wants to dance, he says "dance" and goes over to the radio and turns it on.
I think there are more examples, but I can't remember them all right now. The funny thing is that I don't remember teaching him these things. I may have mentioned some of these things to him once or twice. I may be biased, but I think it's a sign that he is very intelligent, and if that's true, we are really going to have to be on our toes with this kid.
No matter how smart he is, he still sometimes gets things wrong, and sometimes it's really funny. For example, he thought Daddy's nipples were bugs. He also believes all the trees in our yard are apple trees.
There are also two new things he does that are just plain cute. He squats down and says "Dump!" (meaning "Jump!") and then he stands up fast. He created a new dance move where he lays one hand over the other and then makes a wave-like motion with his arms. He does it when we ask to see his "new move."
No matter what, this kid is just plain entertaining and wonderous!
