ooooooo.... you want us to brag? Hmmmm okay if you insist.
Josiah is somewhere around 3 years, 3 months old.
He can:
o accurately read most 3 syllable words without prior knowledge (at times, he even accurately reads scientific words out of anatomy diagrams)
o read short phrases out loud (and although he is often resistant to reading out loud, I've caught him reading paragraphs when he thought I wasn't paying attention)
o generally knows the way to form most cursive letters (still a work in progress)
o can tell you the location of and perhaps describe the function of all his major organs
o can count accurately to well towards one hundred (another thing I've caught him doing secretly)
o is currently (slowly) memorizing his addition tables
o do atleast 60 pc jigsaw puzzles (we haven't bought any 100 pc yet, though he is probably ready)
o locate all the continents , oceans and several countries on a world map
o can locate all the states on a map ( we have a puzzle for this)
o name all the parts of an atom
o count by two to twenty
o recite several things like nursery rhymes, songs, and the pledge of allegience (we are always adding to this)
o speak elementary spanish and read many spanish words (I don't really track this all that well)
and there is just a bunch of random stuff that he knows. Some that I may not be aware of, because he reads so well or he has just learned it off of one of his videos and it sticks in his head, but not mine
He may also be somewhat advanced physically. At his birthday party this year, every child but his sister was older than him. We have a balance beam that he just runs across or stands on without any thought to balance. The other children seemed to have difficulty with this. Of course, he climbs anything he can... I caught him climbing over a four foot picket fence in our backyard recently.
He runs, skips, jumps, about anything you can think of. The only thing he hasn't mastered is the monkey bars and jumping rope really. But I haven't really evaluated any of this officially.
