He's a genius

I try to be pretty low key and not brag too much about Eddie's accomplishments, because I know that 1. they are essentially age-appropriate; 2. He'll also do stuff that I'm not so proud of; 3. It's not polite.

That said, my son is a genius. I had on a shirt with a lot of writing and he was pointing to the letters. As he pointed, I said aloud what each of the letters was, "O", "G", "O", "I", "G". Then I asked where the 'O' was and he pointed to it! I asked where the 'G' was and he pointed to it. I was so excited--maybe Eddie will learn to read early?. I'm sure it's something technical like object recognition.

Later in the day he was wearing a t-shirt I'd bought him in Bar Harbor. It had a duck (and said duck underneath), had another duck and then a moose. So it said, duck, duck, moose. Cracked me up. Anyway, I pointed to the duck and said duck, and the same with the moose. I then asked him where the moose was and he pointed to the moose.

Now the kicker was that when he was no longer wearing the shirt and I asked him where the moose was, he still pointed to where it would have been on his shirt. I probably shouldn't mess with him like that, but it was pretty funny.
