Mon, 30 Mar 2009 00:25:18 +0000 http://tastelikecrazy.com/?p=1829#comment-3908 I've got a 3 and 7 year old. What amazed me most with them is that they are so completely different although they came from the same source. Each make connections so differently. The 7yr is very analytic and make very calculated rational connections to things. The 3yr old is pure emotion and makes connections based on how it relates to her. It's fascinating to watch them learn something together as they get frustrated with each other based on their style. I’ve got a 3 and 7 year old.

One of the readers asked her her earliest memory and she described a vacation that we took when she was eighteen months. One time she was trying to explain something to me and her mom and we were having the hardest time trying to figure out what she was talking about. Finally we figured out that she was talking about when we removed our carpet for hardwood floors. This happened shortly after her first birthday in an apartment that we moved out of before she turned three. Crazy that. <abbr><em>Writer Dads last blog post..<a href="http://writerdad.com/family/petals-papered-our-lives-walls/" rel="nofollow">Petals Papered Our Lives Walls</a></abbr></em> I did an interview with my daughter the other day, of course I don’t have the link, where I asked for audience questions.

Not necessarily "your first memory was from age 2 so you have a 150 IQ" but the study found that the earlier the memories, the smarter the person. :) I read somewhere-of course I don’t have a link for you-that the age at which you can start recalling memories directly correlates to IQ.

Each has positives and negatives. I honestly can't wait for what she'll do next. :) I’ve loved every different “phase” thus far. Each has positives and negatives.

My children making connections is one of my very favorite things about being a dad. What is even more amazing is when they pile a few more years on and then start busting out with memories from before they were two. Jaw meet floor. <abbr><em>Writer Dads last blog post..<a href="http://writerdad.com/family/petals-papered-our-lives-walls/" rel="nofollow">Petals Papered Our Lives Walls</a></abbr></em> I smiled my whole way through this.

That's part of the reason I want to be be a teacher, to see the light pop up and watch kids get that connection! :) Good luck with the two's ... they can be terrific, too, right? <3 When I worked with kids, I loved seeing that connection.
