I am sure I am not biased at all when I say our little man is extremely smart. Of course I really have no idea what to compare him to and where he should be at this point but I am pretty impressed with how much he talks, the thoughts he comes up with on his own, and everything he has learned and retained. It usually only takes him hearing or seeing something once for him to remember it.
He knows all his colors, he can count to 14 and usually only leaves out 5, with 2 being forgotten occasionally. I have no idea why he goes to 14 but it is cute none the less.
What is most amazing to me though is how a 25 month old can relate things to other tidbits of information he has heard. For example, we were in Louisville the weekend before last for a 5k. He saw the river and wanted to touch the water. Mom and Kathy told him he couldn't because it was yucky and left it at that. The next day Matt asked him about the race and he told him he saw boats and water. But then he said, "water was yucky. It had poop in it!". We just had to laugh. I guess since we tell him poop is yucky, and then told him the water was yucky, it only made sense that we meant the water had poop in it.
Another example of his relating things together was one night when Matt was going outside and told me he had to go put "his eye balls in". This means he is going to put his contacts in instead of wearing his glasses. I didn't think anything of it and didn't realize Alex had even heard him but the next thing we know Alex is handing Matt 2 bouncy balls mom had bought him that actually had eye balls in them. He said, "here dada, eye balls." Smart boy!!
