she has a very wisehead on them there little shoulders (but i think some of that might come from mummy....!)
i think it's cute that she can see through all the crap that teens surround themselves with so early - hopefully it means she'll be a bright teen and not get caught up in all that rubbish!
My DD is 10 and it is SCARY. It's all about boys and who's boss in year 4!! Yes it seems they have grown up WAY faster than when we were young, but it seems to be the way it is everywhere. They hear things and don't always know what they're saying. I had a conversation with DD at the beginning of the year, someone had said the boys were playing "sex" games with the girls . (it was a mother who wanted to cause trouble)>
Anyway I asked DD if the boys were playing any sort of "weird" games, or games that she didn't think were right. She said "oh yer mum, they all play CRICKET, how BORING"!!!!! So she was just too niave to get my drift and I realised she was still my little girl!
I do find that alot of the girls are developing alot earlier and therefore these things are all happening sooner. But it's all about educating and talking as we go. DD at the MOMENT tells me everything and I just have to try to encourage her to be kind and not to take sides, be mean, be silly etc. It's hard but Im learning as I go. Really really dreading high school though....
OMG..I have one of those too lol. She talks about the way people treat her and others, and how she won't be like that when she gets older.
Last year when we found out we were pregnant, and told DD, we asked her to not say anything at that time. Then she found out that her cousin and MIL where telling people our news. She was pretty angry, and upset and couldn't understand why her grandma would do that. She said it was our news to tell and no one else's. It wasn't exciting telling people because they already knew from Grandma and her cousin..... I was pretty shocked that she had those pretty indepth emotions about it.
She has started planning her adult life. Her plan is to be a vet and also run classes for animals, like a puppy school I believe? She has even drawn up her house plans I kid you not!! She is thinking she will build a house, instead of buying. She even drew what dogs are in what room, which room is the waiting room for the animals and owners, where the medicine cabinet will be going, where her bedroom is and the car park for clients!! Dad is allowed to paint the place, and she will leave it up to him, as he is good with colours!
