Doing homework at 3 years old...in front of her own computer (and she tells Mom how to work it). Its loaded with programs geared for her age group.
Need to talk to Mom about that drink cup tho...

BTW - The far right icon next to the YouTube icon in the post window is for embedding photbucket videos...

This is what I used to embed the video...

A 3 year old with homework. When are you going to make her get a job, 6? Just kidding, getting a jump start on education can never start too early. I have to help my kids with their homework because my wife doesn't handle stress well. Right now 3 of our kids are in school. Soon, all 5 will be coming home with homework. It can really get the blood pressure up, but it is definatly worth it.

CJ, I used the PBVID tags and it showed just a blank screen in the post ?? I must have done it wrong...

PC, she goes to a military base pre-school/daycare and they really teach her well.
She knows her alphabet, can count to 15 with some help, naming and spelling colors, read (recognize) her own name, weekdays, some months, Jeez i could go on and on...
We probably push her a little, but nothing she can't handle.
As for getting a Job, She will be working as soon as she's able to handle it. And paying 'rent'. No freeloaders in my household. Even my Dog and Cat have 'jobs' around the house :laugh:

My 5 year old knows how to bypass the security system set up to protect the chocolate chip cookies.

Does your 5 year old do it, or is that just the story papa tells mama?

Awww... poor Sham dont get any cookies.... lmao!

Kids are smart...Asses.

Bubba told me yesterday that he doesnt want to go to college. He is 8. What does he know of college. Anyway, I told him that when he is older he will have to have a college degree to work at McDonalds. He replied "Mom, that is so wrong. Besides, I wanna work at Taco Bell." I think I shot fire from my eyes.


BTW, CJ5 , SHE IS ADORABLE!!!

Whats worse is he's starting to mock me now. We speak 3 languages in our house (actually I speak one and then butcher 2 other poor, innocent additional languages). Peter, the 5 year old...6 this thursday, makes fun of my Russian and Italian....he's fluent in both and probably believes that daddy is a bit slow in the head.

On a very personal, proud...and equally scary moment...my oldest son, Robby, goes into the Army tomorrow..Fort Jackson, SC.

He's one of my boy, he's 2 at this time BTW.

 

[mylittlecj5]

thanks, Suzie. I think so also, and she does too
BG, somewhere I've got a pic of mine working under the Jeep on a floor creeper. Looks about the same as yours.

shamrock, congrats on a new recruit
Do you find a use in everyday life for Russian and Italian? I am starting to teach Sammy what little Spanish I know, along with what the daycare teaches. I have never had a reason to learn anything but Spanish, but now I find out we may go to Italy or Japan for work sometime soon. I guess Italian would come in handy about now...
