The perfect memory of a 2 year old.

It never fails to amaze me when it comes to the memory of my children.

As you probably know from my posts, we are a Dr. Who household. Love that series and have watched it for years. We own every season as soon as it comes out and even have the older versions back to the 70′s.

This obsession run through all of my kids, even the babies. Simon was a fan the moment he saw his first show when he was 2 years old. But I didn’t know how much he loved the show until recently.

When a good friend of mine came to pick me up for the Game Creators Guild meeting, he came inside for the first time since we moved here. Simon didn’t know who he was and…being Simon and a whopping 4 years old, he drilled my friend to see if he was worthy to be in his domain.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Do you like Doctor Who?”

“Yes, I do.”

“You DO?!? …I do too! Do you like the one where…”

Simon proceeded to talk about shows he’d not seen since he was 2 and my jaw dropped. Described in perfect detail were the villains, the plot and how the Doctor won the day (with full sound effects included of course). This has continued for the last few days–Simon sharing all the things he’s remembered to such an extent, we pulled out the old DVD’s and started watching them over again.

Simon, of course, had to point out the details and say “See,…I told you that’s what happened.”
