I'd like to start a brag thread where we talk about what we love about our children's personalities because well, I want to have an outlet to brag about my DD! Not very honourable motives, I know.

22-month-old DD is a constant delight. She is extremely happy and mega-outgoing. She's also very active and very determined which do create some issues for me but I think are positives for her.

So in the years to come, these are the things I want to remember about DD:

1. We went to storytime at the library for the first time yesterday. Once she got used to the enormous amount of babies/toddlers/parents there, she started doing her social rounds. Ignored the story man but went around showing people her new shoes, started handing books around and plonked herself on a beanbag next to a mum and two children she'd never met before. There was a bit of dance at the end and DD was so proud of herself that she clapped herself and started laughing at the top of her voice. The room was slient apart from DD's laughter.

2. When she was much younger (maybe 14 months old) she came down the slide at the park, saw an old man she'd never met before, waved to him and because he waved back she hunted him down and started running after him.

3. She loves interacting with people. Last night we had a bloke around to design some BIR wardrobes for us. She saw him drawing with a pencil on graph paper and then went off and came back and handed him a crayon.

4. She loves dancing and if we go to a cafe or a shop with music she just dances in the middle of the joint completely unprompted. Then of course people laugh and she laughs right back.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... gotta love that DD. She makes life very interesting.
