My HV has said my two and a half year old is likely to be very bored when he starts nursery this September and I'm a little worried.
Speech wise he is brilliant, I can talk to him about most topics and he understands and responds like a school age child. He speaks in normal sentences, can describe what he wants, relate memories, etc.
His memory is far better than mine, he can direct someone driving to any location he has been to a few times, he knows all shapes (including complex ones like parallelogram/dodecahedron). He's mastered numbers up to twenty, memorised some planet names and impressed the GP naming stuff like opthalmascope/stethoscope.
Recently he's memorised all letters and is practising drawing them with a kit, I don't think reading is far away as he is trying already!!
He also does something kind of odd that I find fascinating. He seems to see the world in parts and shapes. For example I dropped a multi pack of tissues on the coffee table (they split) and he looked at them and assembled them into the shape of a robot with no hesitation. Stuff like that is pretty common.
This is not from me, I'm quite clever but nothing way above the national average, same for my husband really. We say something once and he remembers it permanently, it's mad!!
The HV and a few people at playgroups have said he is going to have nothing to do at nursery and I am a bit concerned. He is very shy with other children (especially if they can't talk) and I want nursery to be fun. Any nursery workers come across a toddler like mine? Reassure me please :/
