Is it bad when your 2 year old son is smarter than you? Liam was laying out his alphabet tiles in order (from right to left). He had them done up to “P”. I then told him he needed “R” next. He told me “No, Q!” I then realize he was right. Later I was trying to get him to spell his name. Which he did and while I was exclaiming over it he then said “B-R-E-A-D Bread!” I taught him that a week ago and he still remembers it! He can just be “too” smart sometimes.

So my 2 year old son can say his alphabet and can count up to 19 but he still doesn’t call me “mama”, instead he calls me “baba”. I guess he thinks I am a sheep since that is also what he calls sheep.
