In my book, "Clues From Heaven," that will be on the market soon, I tell about a surprise that occurred with our adopted infant son:
"One day my husband's parents came out to the town of Tracy in the country to visit us. While mom Ruhl and I were in the kitchen, pop Ruhl went out to the living room to see Dayton who was in an infant seat on our couch. Infant seats strap a child in for safety (see pic below) until they are strong enough to sit up by themselves. This is an important note to help explain how young he was.
Hi Dayton! Pop exclaimed with exuberance.
Hi, Dayton promptly replied.
"Shocked, pop came charging into the kitchen, Did you hear that? Dayton said, Hi! We were all stunned. Being an infant only a few months old, not even able to sit up by himself, Dayton was much too little to talk yet. However, logically, it was just a one syllable word spoken as though you are breathing out, making it simple to say clearly with enough reasoning and logic and diction applied. But at such an early age? We learned by the age of two that his "reasoning and logic skills are beyond his years." By second grade the Principal told us our son was "post-college graduate in his reasoning and logic skills."
"My mother, founder of three pre-schools in Northern California, had informed me that half of everything a child will ever learn they learn in the first three years of their life. Apparently, we dont realize how smart babies are because they cant talk at first to let us know. Studies have shown their brains start recording even before their body is fully formed in the womb."
