A few weeks ago during our family road trip, Django literally woke up and counted to 10+ and started listing the alphabet (see description in that earlier post, whenever I manage to get it written, that is!) This week he spontaneously began reciting the lyrics to songs.
The thing that has me most baffled about it is that I never heard the skills in-the-making. He didn't ever chime in while I was singing, or throw out a line or two, just to let me know he was working on memorizing them. Nope. All of a sudden, there they were in complete form -- or as complete as an almost-20 month old could be expected to get.
While I was videoing him car-chasing with his friend Zoe, he recognized the Itsy Bitsy Spider song was playing, so I took the opportunity to ask him to recite it, and then Twinkle, Twinkle. Under the pressure to perform he mixed them each up a little, but I still think you'll be amazed. I know I was.
