Out of the Mouth of Babes
While I was talking to my sister-in-law on the phone a few hours ago, Danny, her 3-year-old son (our godson) went to the bathroom by himself to pee. After she hung up with me, she went to the bathroom to check on him.
"Did you do peepee in the toilet?" she asked.
"Yes, mommy!" He answered.
My sister-in-law responds, "Bravoooooooo, Danny! You are such a good boy!"
He then proudly adds, "Mommy, I did peepee in the toilet, and poopoo on the floor, then I took it from the floor, I put in the toilet and I flushed — ALL BY MYSELF!"

You obviously have a brilliant young man on your hands. If he is capable of this kind of thought process, he is surely able to tackle many basic educational concepts. So many people think this development just happens at this age, but really it should be as guided as potty training. Keep an eye on my YouthPlay blog for ideas or visit the website at http://www.youthplay.org. We have educational favorites for all ages.
