I know, I know. Every mom says that - but I really think my kids are smart.

Today we were listening to TMBG’s “Here Come the ABCs” - we love that album in this home.

Pan can pick up on the letters just by hearing the sound they make as they are drawn - and not just from the beginning! Start the song anywhere in the middle and he can pick right up and tell you the letters that are being drawn (There’s no words). So we have been thinking lately that he’s also got to have a photographic memory, and I’m convinced. There’s another little vignette called “Letter/Not A Letter” where different symbols are shown on the screen, and some kids tell you if it’s a letter or not. When we were listening to the CD (so no visual cues from the DVD) he was saying *what* the saymbol was before the kids said whether or not it was a letter (either by saying ‘huh’ or ‘whut’ if it was not a letter, and the letter’s name at the point in the song when that letter would be showing on the screen).
