Will's Precocious Talent

by Imelda Ulangca-Formoso



Three years ago today, I gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy. In that precious moment, I was overwhelmed with so much love that I hoped I will do right by him. By this, I wanted to give him everything and for him to grow to live a happy and wholesome life. I am so grateful to be blessed with a wonderful and joyful child; just watching him grow so quickly has been amazing for me.

I realized my son had a gift when he began to recognize his alphabets, primary colors, and shapes before he even turned one.  Not only that, but he started to count from one to 20 in both Spanish and Ilocano. By this time, I introduced him to YouTube where he was able to watch children videos and nursery rhymes. At the age of two, he began to name all the planets in order from the Sun. He then advanced to reading and counting to 100. But with all this, what astounded me most was that he self-taught all that he’s learned. I joke with everyone saying that all William needs is his iPad, because he could probably teach himself a new lesson in no time. Being such a tech-savvy toddler, he navigates himself between applications on the iPad. He has an amazing photographic memory. Once William is introduced to an object, he will always try to identify it. He’s like a little sponge, picking up things so quickly. 

Early this year, he amazed us by locating all the states on the map. He progressed himself even further by taking on the countries and continents of the world. Being so unsolicited, he surprises us so much!  One day after giving him a bath, he babbled out the US Presidents in chronological order. I couldn’t believe it myself, so much that I printed a list of the US Presidents just to see if he was right.  Lo and behold, he most definitely was. 

Being such a proud mother of a happy and healthy boy is what I am so grateful the most; I am so excited what he’s capable of doing next!
