When my three year old woke up this morning, I was sitting in the living room reading a book, several of them, a pencil, and my coffee, piled up beside me. He came and nestled in next to me, then grabbed my Bible and started reading out the numbers of the chapters in Genesis. This time he recognized every one of the twenties, something we had gone over a week or two ago, but had not revisited since.
Amazing.
He had trouble once we entered the thirties, but in a little more than a week he has gained an entire section of numbers he didn't know before. The three-year-old mind is a fantastical thing.
And how do you like those sentence structures? I've been reading Stanley Fish, How to Read a Sentence. I suppose I've absorbed a little something in the past week myself, as difficult as that week had been. Whether they are good or not, or anything different from what I was accustomed to do already, I cannot tell.
