I used to wonder what the point was of teaching him these things when he was little. I was pretty sure he would forget it all. But I told myself it wasn't going to harm him in any way and maybe it would enhance his brain development in some way. Plus he really wanted to learn! It is a little disappointing that after all those hours he spent pouring over that reptiles and amphibians book he doesn't remember even a single frog or toad. He doesn't even like frogs anymore. Oh well.
That's what I was thinking about when I started this thread. No harm in the kids having spend the time pouring over these books. They enjoyed themselves, we didn't make them do it. Yet it's a bit sad all that information wasn't retained.
