Typically, I am a leader, not a follower. However, after watching a video clip of Tyson's friend, Gavin, recite the Pledge of Allegiance, (he just turned 3 years of age) I was bound and determined to see if Tyson could recite it as well. No lie, after 3 days of repeating the pledge (approximatly 15 times total) Tyson is now able to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. See the video clip. It's cute. He says all the words very precisely, except for America. Instead of America he says, "Americob". Funny!
Although Tyson is still considered a "toddler", it won't be long before he is considered a "preschooler" (4 months to be exact). I assume it doesn't hurt to continue teaching him things that ultimately will prepare him for kindergarten. He is like a giant sponge, absorbing all of the information we try to teach him. Currently, he is able to spell his entire name, write the letter T & Y, recite the pledge of Allegiance and alphabet (easy one I know), and count to 18+. Usually, he says, "Eleventeen", for eleven. I personally, think that's cute though.
NEVER underestimate a child's abilities. They are a lot smarter than you think. A child can ask questions that a wiseman cannot answer. Think about that one for second.
Kelley Reese, thanks for the idea. Sorry to be a copykat!
