how did kids become so sophisticated?

It amazes me from time to time, how kids actually think and know more than we think they do, sometimes. That's why I think parenting is like a dance, both of us are learning.

I like to keep watch of where Theo does and where he goes in our home, afterall he is only 2yrs old (+2mths) . Theo was nowhere in sight when i was having lunch and I called from the dining table " Theophilus!" and he replied "I'm sitting down!" Hmmm... how did he know? Clever boy. *Smile*

I came back one day said this upon noticing the clock in the kitchen " Eh, the clock is abit slow, i think it needs a battery soon". Suddenly Theo came running into the kitchen with a battery in his hand. I was surprised and believe it or not, DID NOT make the connection as to what I had just said. I asked Theo " Where did you get this from?" He took me to the bedroom and showed me " here" . Turns out he opened our bedroom clock and took out the battery for me!! So clever.
