It's all downhill from here
Jacob's 3-year-old obsession with dinosaurs and diggers (animals and transport, as someone succinctly summed it up)is still firmly in place but getting a run for it's money lately from a new leaning towards long conversations centred around bottoms, penises and boobies. Farts and burps have been known to figure prominently also.
As we only speak Dutch to him and this new obsession manifests itself almost purely in English I am assuming it has been picked up from the four-year-olds at creche. (Or could Grandma and aunty Alix be responsible......?)
I've been wondering lately about the wisdom of leaving the vast majority of Jacob's english-language education in the hands of pre-schoolers. At least we needn't be concerned that it isn't a broad education.
