It never ceases to amaze me how much a child’s brain can absorb! Their brains are like sponges. Out of nowhere Bradley (4 1/2) announced to my family on our recent holiday that “butterflies come from a chrysalis” and then went on to explain the process. A what Bradley? Oh bless him he really has been listening at School – reception year are currently studying mini-beasts. And Bradley’s not the only clever one, yesterday whilst driving back from holiday we’d deliberately not put the in car DVD player on (not sure if that was a good idea or not for a 2.5 hour journey as we were driven crazy) but at least it made the boys look around, think a bit, and not get square eyes! Rudy (3 in a couple of weeks) was getting slightly bored to say the least and started counting under his breath from 0-21. Bless him he looked embarrasingly pleased with himself as we started clapping & congratulating him on his cleverness, he didn’t know we were listening (well Daddy wasn’t really clapping as he was driving).
