Dylan recently said, 'Dylan is a good boy.' Then he added, 'Daddy is a good boy.' Finally he said, 'Mummy is a good boy.'

Dylan distinguishes marine animals including fish, dolphins, whales, and sharks, but he still can't count past two. (He can recite numbers higher, but he cannot count more than two objects.)

When we ask Dylan to do something that he dislikes, he sometimes offers another good deed instead. For example, when we told him to put on his shoes, instead he crawled on the toilet and said 'Pee pee'. What could we do?

Dylan's book Farmyard Tales Christmas includes a picture of Poppy's letter to Santa. Poppy's writing is clearly shown within the letter, so Dylan has learned what 'letters' are. Now he calls the text in books 'letters'. (At times he distinguishes 'numbers', too.) In one of Dylan's library books, a mischievous character steals the letter O. Consequently Dylan now spots the letter O in books (and on his bottle, and on Daddy's sweatshirt, etc.) and says 'letter O' and makes the ooohhh sound. Obviously Dylan is a literary genius, in Daddy's view.
