It's bizarre how her little mind works. She asked a question about the "big penny" she had in her hand. It was so mind blowing I had to record it and post it on YouTube. Take a look:
She also said it looks like a "paint factory". I haven't quite translated that one, yet. Her thought process is just staggering sometimes.
We have had her intelligence level tested by a psychologist within the last few months. When it came to reasoning and logic, she tested on a 9 to 11 year old level. She was making correlations on the test that were stumping a couple of us.
For example, there would be six pictures on a page, two sets of three. On the surface, none of the pictures had any relation to each other. She would say (for example, I don't remember any specifics), "The balloon flies and the bird flies". And her memory. My lord. She was able to remember, and repeat back, a sequence of five or six numbers in a row. She's only three.
I started teaching her how to play chess yesterday. We focused on the names of the pieces and how each piece moved. She still has a hard time grasping the concept of strategy. We play Tic-Tac-Toe, and you can tell that there are times that she understands that she needs to block me. Other times, she's just blindly dropping Xs.
Still she makes Mommy and Daddy extremely proud.

Cute! My daughter is a little over 3 1/2 and this age has been frighteningly amazing! To watch them figure things out and make such sophisticated leaps in thought has been eye-opening as well as beautiful to see. I see my world differently because of her, and I can see that you do too! Yay for 3 year olds!
That really is pretty amazing! I think she's going to grow up to be an artist.
