How did that go?
We have a set of books at home that were mine when I was little. Over the last year or so Jack has really enjoyed them going from being able to identify the objects in the books to being able to understand some of the concepts they teach. Each book addresses a different subject: sounds, shapes, words, etc. A few nights ago we happened to be looking through the "nature book" before bed and got to the page below. 
Sean explained that a butterfly starts as an egg, turns into a caterpillar, then a chrysallis and finally emerges as a butterfly.
Then we got to this page and Jack explained that the egg in the upper left corner would turn into a baby bird, then a robin, then a cardinal and finally a cat. I'll just reiterate that he can understand some of the concepts. I guess this is one we need to work on.

It's amazing how little brains understand things! That's why it's so important to give kids a chance to share their ideas. Very funny! Thanks for sharing.
That's great! It's moments like this that remind us that yeah, we really do enjoy being parents after all! :)
Too funny!! I would say that his concept is still pretty smart that he could start with an egg and think of a progression according to what was on the page - even if it's not naturally possible :)
