My 3 year old knows the ALPHABET!

As a mother I am always looking for fun ways to educate my son. Being a stay at home mom I have this underlying fear that if he isn't progressing I am failing. We had hit a developmental road block. If I wanted him to try something he immediately was against it. This made it very hard to teach him anything. I would draw a letter on his doodle pad and tell him what it was. His response was, "NO IT NOT!". Is it possible that he has skipped his whole childhood and gone straight to defiant teenager? I was at wits end until my mother took him to Montana for a week. He came back with the VTech Little Einsteins Learn & Go Laptop. He loves the fact that he has a 'puter' like mommy. I kid you not within a week he knew the alphabet! As we speak he is learning vowels. It has 18 games including matching games, bigger or smaller, hide and seek, letter progression, numbers. The list goes on. I am constantly blown away by how much he is learning.
If you are a parent or have a friend with small children I highly recommend getting this. One great thing about it is that it claps when the child gets one right or makes a sad sound when they get it wrong then encourages them to try again. I can be in the kitchen making dinner and still be able to tell him good job or nice try. He feels like he is such a big boy now. In such a short time he has gone from stubborn and unwilling to excited and eager to learn.


We have bought Kai tons of developmental products and games in the past but this is the first one that has actually sparked the learning bug in him. I love love love this thing! If you don't have it run out and get it right away!!! You won't be sorry.
