Anticipation...

I think one of the most interesting parts of this parenting thing is watching the neurons connecting in baby's little brain. William is so impressive at times. For example, when we listen to music he knows what song comes next on a CD, he anticipates the next page in a book, and it doesn't take him long to memorize it. Crazy. I have always believed that much of intelligence is not inborn. I think almost all kids have a infinite capacity to learn and it is only how well we cultivate it that makes them either considered intelligent or not later. They are little sponges. I am busily pouring knowledge on mine and watching him puff up. It is fascinating!
