Patrick turned 2 in February and knows most of his ABC's. Sings songs like "twinkle, twinkle", "ring around the rosie",etc where he gets most of the words. He can also count to 20. I think that these are fairly average milestones for a 2 year old.

He's starting to get to the why? stage so I'm sure he'll know more then me soon!Sun, 16 Apr 2006 18:56:50 GMTviolet1amythesthttp://forums.parentscanada.com/Topic161-16-1.aspxSounds like you mom's are doing great jobs!!! Kids are huge sponges and repetition is the key. Cna you imagine what 3 will be like?<img align="absmiddle" src="http://forums.parentscanada.com/Skins/LiquidViolet/Images/EmotIcons/Smile.gif" border="0" title="Smile">Wed, 12 Apr 2006 16:37:10 GMTskellerhttp://forums.parentscanada.com/Topic161-16-1.aspxSounds like he is doing what he should for his age. My DD turned 2 in December. She can count to 10, knows most of her colors, knows 7 shapes, great with puzzles and can even name almost all of the provinces on her puzzle of Canada. These kids are real sponges at this age so just keep teaching him things and he will keep up the great work!!Thu, 06 Apr 2006 21:06:06 GMTBuddahhttp://forums.parentscanada.com/Topic161-16-1.aspxEveryone keeps telling me how smart Cole is. I don't know if they are just being nice and impressed someone young is capable of doing xyz or if he really is smart for his age. </P><P>Cole is now 2 and he can sing the abc's very clearly. He will also sing other songs but most of them are just sounding like the song it self or parts of the song. Like twinkle twinkle little star or old macdonald. He's got most of the words to little star but only sings ei ei o moo moo here moo moo there for old macdonald. He is also starting to count. He will say numbers but they are not in any kind of order but he thinks he's counting properly anyway. Yesterday he told me he has 1 teddy and when I asked him to get his other teddy he told me he had 2 teddies once he brought it out. He knows shapes and most colors and when doing a puzzle meant for older kids he can do it alone after the second time doing it with us. The puzzles that are shapes of animals and stuff he can do alone the first time and get it all right with really no mistakes. He knows animal sounds and will now ask what something is when he hears a noise or sees something he doesn't know. When he watch shows like Dora or Blues Clues he will point out the answer to their questions or clues. </P><P>I don't think that he's a child prodigy or anything and am not really sure where on the scale of smartness he is compared to other kids his age since the kids in our playgroup are older or a lot younger.Thu, 06 Apr 2006 14:01:36 GMTviolet1amythest
