It all started a few months ago, when all of the sudden Kai seemed to realize the movements of the car. That we stop and go, stop and go, stop and go while on the road; that we turn here, turn there.
He soon started asking, "Why dop?" when we stopped, and after only a few dozen times of telling him why (because the light is red, the car in front of us stopped, we have to wait our turn, etc), he began telling us when we need to stop. As in, "Dop Mommy, red yight!!" Which, by the way, is usually correct...
He also now recognizes the road to places we drive often (mostly home and daycare), and when we get within a couple turns of our house he can tell us where to turn. (May I also mention that my brilliant son knows left from right?)
While sitting in traffic, he now honks his horn (by pressing an imaginary horn and yelling "BEEP, BEEP!!") at the other cars and tells them to move out of our way. He is quite observant of the other cars on the road and often comments on their colors or contents (doggie or other kids), and even occasionally asks me what they're doing ("What doning?" or "Why do dat?"). Once he even pointed out a car that was exactly like mine (same make, model, year, color)! Thanks to his Father's love of maps, he knows what one looks like, and upon seeing a map will ask, "Where we have to doe?", even if we are not in the car. (And yes, 5-7 word sentences are quite common around our house these days.)
Should make driver's ed a breeze, huh?
