When the little angel was just a wee pup, my mother would constantly exclaim, “She burped!†or “Look how she’s holding her toes!†and I would reply sagely, “Yes, she’s very smart.â€
As she’s grown older, my claims that she is very smart have gone from “God, I hope she’s smart, because I don’t really know†to “Yep – hope she doesn’t turn out to be so smart I can’t understand what she’s saying.†Because at almost three, she’s already doing all sorts of things that I won’t name now because ya’ll would probably want to kill me.
If you’re Rou from World of Suck you would.
Or not? Because it looks like some of you want to hear about the little angel’s vast intelligence. You want to hear it, because you want to tell me about your child’s intelligence. Not in the name of competimomminess, but just in the name of sharing, of being excited for each other that we created these little PEOPLE with the BRAINS and they are just getting better every day. I applaud that. So does Liz from Mom-101 with this post and, slightly more archived, Rebecca from Nine Pound Dictator with this post.
Sometimes our children are not only smart but shockingly intuitive, saying the right things just when we need to hear them. I am still wiping my eyes from reading Kari’s post over at Clark Schpiell Productions.
While I promise to never put bumper stickers of any kind (not even the I Hate George Bush variety, even though I want to, I really want to) on my car, I will be taking all sorts of sappy mommy pride when the little angel makes the honor roll. Because I know in my heart that she will, whether I pressure her to do so or not.
