DD will be 3 in about a month. She can do all of the above, but she is fuzzy on numbers and letters still. She has been potty trained day and night for almost a year. She sometimes gets confused on how to answer questions like, "what is your favorite [xyz]?" though.

My son isn't 3 yet but my brother will be 3 in October and he can do everything but recognize all letters and numbers. Oh he isn't fully potty trained yet either, but he definitely will be by his birthday.

My dd was not potty trained by her 3rd b-day.  She was by 3.5.  She can sing parts of a lot of songs, she knows her ABC's to sing, but can sometimes have issues with the actual letters.  She gets 6 and 9 confused.   Sure she can listen to basic instructions, but that doesn't mean she will follow them.  She likes to tell stories, so if you ask her what she ate or who did what she may end up telling you a long story about Larry Boy and all sorts of other things.

yes. I would say she was doing all of those things by 2, but my 3 year old is like a freaking prodigy. Luckily my 14 month old is perfectly average and humbled me out, haha.

2 yes, 2 no.

Yes, he did all of those things by 3

Yes to everything except potty training. But he is on the ASD spectrum, so the hyperlexia is just a (very welcome) part of the package.

Yes all my kids could all sing songs by 3 though they might not always get the lyrics right and you might not always be able to understand them.

I had one that was not at all potty trained at 3yo. He finally trained day and night at the same time at 4.5yo. It was nothing I did I had given up. He just decided to do it one day and he did. The rest were potty trained at 3 but not night trained. They would have occaisional (once or twice a month) day accidents as well until about 3.5yo.

All of them could recognize colors at 3. Most of them could recognize at least the letters in their name at 3. One of them could read at 3.

Numbers were more hit or miss. They could rote count to at least 5 at 3yo, a couple of them could do one to one correspondence to at least 5 at 3yo. Numeral recognition was hit or miss.

Yes they could all answer simple questions at 3 but a couple of them you may or may not have been able to understand the answer they gave the first time.

They could all follow simple one step directions at 3yo. Most of them couple do multi-step directions at 3yo (Go in the house, shut the door and take off your shoes). I had one that could not do more than two step directions at 3yo but he had hearing issues so that was a big part of it.

They could all do a simple 4 piece puzzle at 3yo.



Our breakup was due to religious differences.

He thought he was God. I disagreed.

DD won't be three until November, but can sing at least one song, can answer questions, and listen to basic instructions.

He wasn't potty trained, but yes to everything else. My son is also Hyperlexic so letters/ numbers were learned by age 2.
