As an uncle to an obsessed 3 year old I concur! My jaw dropped when he rattled off "pachycephalosaurus" and I had to look it up to confirm (he might have added a syllable or two but that's ok)
- pamelafox 1y agoThere's a pachycephalosaurus in this book! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1646380428/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1646380428/ (I think I'm actually the obsessed one, to be honest, but I like to blame my children for my own obsessions)
- temp0826 1y agoOoo I'll have to check with his mother if he has it already thanks!
- marai2 1y agoAlso as an uncle to a 3 year old, I could not believe a 3 year old could know the names and pronunciations! of 2x far more dinosaurs than me!
- saalweachter 1y agoI feel like a 3 year old doesn't know yet which words they're supposed to know or which words are hard to pronounce yet, being equally baffled by words like "spaghetti".
