I remember my neighbour's little girl who was about five at the time, running up to me outside my house and declaring 'I've been crying... look' she said pointing to her tearful eyes, before running back indoors.
My charming neighbor, Max, just came by to ask me for a cookie.
He's three, emphasized by carefully folding fingers so as to show three digits.
We had a wonderful conversation before his mother caught up with him.
During our brief exchange I was told, very gravely, that thunder is no good. Worse, his dog ate the hamburger wrapping, and there is a black cat over there (across the street).
Getting news of that quality and accuracy was easily worth the price of an oatmeal raisin cookie, or have I been had?
You all can join me in the security of knowing that we are all safe (aside from those bothersome lightning strikes), and caught up on the neighborhood happenings.
I'm looking after my little 19month old grandson at the moment he is just mastering speach.... he is very observant pointing at everything telling me what it is for instance...car...sky...tractor... that sort of thing.
He is also good at deciding if he likes people pretty quickly and tells them Bye Bye quite emphatically if he doesn't.
I started talking when I was about 5 months old and haven't stopped!
Our eldest girl started talking at a similar age and by the time she was 14 months old was talking in proper sentences. When she was 18 months old her father was reading her the unabridged version of 'Wind in the Willows', which she thoroughly enjoyed, and would ask questions about the story.

I am so glad our birth daughters are highly intelligent, my husband was an academic before his brain haemorrhage, therefore academic prowess was top of the agender in our home when they were young.
