I'm a first time mum, so every new experience my daughter goes through, we go through together.
I guess, I know every parent must feel like their child is special and amazing and we probably do put them high on a pedistool and treat them like no other baby has done anything like them before.
What I'm trying to ask is, what is normal for most 2 year olds to do?
People constantly tell me my daughter is very smart for her age, but I don't know if they're just ebing kind or if there's something to it.
Jessie can sing every word of about 6 different nursery rythmes. She can tell you almost any animal - even the really difficult ones.
She mastered colors and numbers when she was only about 18 months old and can now sing pretty much the whole alphabet!
She seems to have a really deep understanding about things - even though she is still prone to tantrums, she knows when she has been naughty and even puts herself in the corner to cool down.
She has always loved to draw, but will tell you what she is drawing (I've always thought this is because she has watched me, as I love to draw too) and focuses hard on making the shapes she wants.
She can also tell you the shape of things.
From watching "something special" she has picked up the form of sign language called "makaton" and can use both actions and words to get you to understand what she wants.
When she plays, she makes the characters interact with each other - she has done that from early on too.
A dog will bark at another dog, a person will give another person a cuddle or a kiss.
She can use "please", "Thankyou" and "sorry" in all the right places.
I know I'm likely just a mother beaming with pride and rattling on like nothing, but the bar of education a 2 year old should have is very grey to me and I'd like to hear what other 2 year olds can do as a comparison.
People say my daughter is a credit to me, I breastfed her and have been a stay at home mother, so I take it as a compliment. Sometimes I forget that she only became 2 yesterday (literally 29th may).
I feel like she has grown and evolved so fast, that I can't remember a time when she was ever a baby.
She's so independant already, yet the most kind and considerate little girl a mother could ever want.
Sorry for the long post; I hope noone minds and that people can reply with their own amazing stories :)
