Great thread!

I love how smart DD is. When the electricity man came to read the meter she fetched him my measuring tape (and the first electricity meters WERE basically measuring tapes!), she was only 30 months! The other day she brought a football with a frisbee wedged on it in from the garden and said "look Mama! Saturn!". On the morning of her 3rd birthday she got in bed with us and i said "DD you're 3, how does it feel?" and she said "Good mama." then after a pause she put her hand on mine and said with deep concern and regret "oh, mama, you're TWENTY-EIGHT". When the health visitor was here and telling me i had to put DD in nursery because i couldn't possibly provide a rich enough learning environment for her, DD came wandering past the sofa with a kids numbers leaflet the HV had just brought her, reading "fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-seven".

She puts things in the most random places, but she always remembers where. I will say "DD where is the breadmaker's scoop?" and she replies "in the cereal cupboard" as if "duh mama, of COURSE!". LOL! She is in and out of the fridge all the time and asks to make and eat the craziest things. She loves her food, a lady on the bus asked her what her favourite dinner was last week ans she replied "thai curry".

We have whole conversations sung in an opera stylee. There is nothing funnier than her vibrato-ing "mama! I need a wee-wee!" in the supermarket. I am LOLing just thinking about it! Also the other day she did a poo in her potty and came steaming down the stairs shouting "mama! I did a caca seven!" - it did look just like a 7! lol.

She's says "sorry" with grace and "i love you" with ease. We're really close and have such fun together, and yes, i am super glad and proud that as a SAHM who was single from when she was 2 months to when she was 29months, she is almost all my own work She makes me glad every day for the choices i have made WRT her upbringing and my life.
