My three year old grandson amazes me with his advanced vocabulary.
He’s like a sponge when it comes to learning and retaining new words.
Earlier this spring I had taught him that a roly-poly was actually a crustacean, and not an insect when he was on the hunt for insects for a school assignment.
Today as I was sitting in the backyard I heard him say, “Mimi, do you want to come see some crustaceans?”
He had overturned a log that had been home to a herd of the little fellows.
A minute later I found him chasing after a huge toad telling him he was going to find him a burrow to live in.
He likes to refer to killer whales as orcas, knows all about sea pigs and the ring of fire thanks to a favorite tv show called The Octonauts.
I’m convinced this boy is an auditory learner, and his vocabulary prowess never ceases to amaze me.
