A few minutes later, he and I were coloring with one of the Kelleys' family friends, and the nice gentleman was drawing shapes for Landon and telling him what they are. I decided to "test him" again and draw an octagon. I said, "Hey Landon! What is this shape?"
"Ock-a-gon!"
The man and I were amazed. I decided that I just HAD to try with some other polygons. I drew a hexagon and got excited to see what would happen. "Hey Landon! What is this shape?"
He looked at it thoughtfully and got a huge grin on his face as he said,
"A BABY ock-a-gon!"
Well played, kiddo. Well played. :)

Okay, I confess that I saw you drawing octagons for him and thought, "Wow, that's ambitious." I am happy to be eating crow. Smart boy!
Smart baby! Just like his mama!
And funny like his mama too! (baby octagon!)
I love this! He's so clever! Way to outsmart your mom, Landon!
Wow--very impressive!! I'll have to thank my mom, who encouraged the variety of crackers. I had originally just gotten square, and then we wouldn't have gotten to expose Landon's brilliance!!
Thanks again for coming--my favorite part was having all the kiddos there.
Aw, so cute! And smart, too!
