That to me is just weird as all get out, such fertile minds with seemingly endless capacity. They are so "with it" mentally, it's hard to imagine it all gets forgotten(the experience, not the knowledge).
Weird.

Hence the reason our 3 year old is in Montessori school and not day car.
He does not play he learns all day long and is a sponge. He almost has a grasp of days of the week and time and is aware of direction N, S, E, W.
We had read the first 4 years are amazing and to tap into it as much as possible and we are seeing it with this guy. Truly amazing.
And this is in addition to what Len has posted.
