So when DS was about 3 give or take, he used to make these very interesting patters using color form letters. They started out first in a straight line (A - Z, 0 - 9) but they moved on to pretty neat and interesting patterns with the letters always arranged in proper order. Except the F. Lost that one
. Of course at the time I didn't think much about these patterns.
Forward to when DS was about 5 or just shy of that. He become very enthusiastic about math and learned some pretty advanced concepts. He seemed to really like patterns like Fibonacci numbers, Lucas (like Fibonacci), factorials, etc. Patterns again.
Then he started to be far more interested in Biology. Some of that might be due to his reading improvements and he could read through all sorts of books on his own.
Now he's really, really into solving mazes. He's starting to create his own to (and then proceeds to solve them)!
I have a theory that part of the reason that he like anatomy (which is his focus in "Biology") is that he's trying to learn "the patterns" of the body. How things work. The love of mazes is relatively new but it got me to thinking how it all is somehow connected in that little mind of his. He sees a picture of the digestive system and if the artist that drew the diagram doesn't clearly show the path of the small intestine, he's like "hey! where does this go to! It's not connected!"
Anyways... thought I'd share in case you've had similar experiences or thoughts.
