Developing Minds

File under kids say the darnedest things. On the way to the zoo with two of the gang (after more then two kids apparently you reach gang status). Singing "we're all going to the zoo today..." when Ben pipes up.

No Daddy we're not ALL going to the zoo. Two pieces of the jigsaw are missing.

Who's that Ben.

Mammy and Daire.

So there you have it analogical reasoning and the poetic mind of a 3 year old. It really took me by surprise and delight. What was really interesting was his ability to contextualise it . When we were driving in his Granny's car without his Granny the piece of the jigsaw that was missing was Granny.
