That is what Paige said to me this morning when we walked past the globe in my parents' room.
Me: What?
Paige: I show you where Daddy is!
Me: Um, okay. . .
Paige squirms out of my arms, runs to the globe, and gives it a good spin. She even winds up as if she's spinning the wheel on the Price is Right. I watch as she stops the globe with both hands, backs it up a little, and then points her little finger right to Afghanistan.
Paige: See, Mama! Daddy right dere (there)!
My mouth hung open for a second before exclaiming, "You're exactly right! Daddy is in Afghanistan. Can you say Afghanistan?"
Paige: AssghanikSTAN!
Okay, I know every parent thinks their kid is exceptional, so I try to refrain from this type of post, but COME ON! That's crazy, right? I have shown her where Afghanistan is on the globe a couple of times, so I guess it's not THAT crazy. But I never expected her to find it all on her own. (And she's found it at least 7 or 8 times since, so I know it wasn't a fluke).
The kid never ceases to amaze me.
I love being her mother.
AMAZING!!! Isn't it insane what kids pick up!? They're like little sponges, I swear. I'm so impressed. And she says complete sentences?! Geez! I'm way impressed!
ReplyDeleteshe is so smart! i'm amazed!
ReplyDeleteNice. Way to go Paige!
ReplyDeletei wouldn't believe you unless i knew that kid...and really for her this is not that shocking!
ReplyDeleteWow, has papa been coaching her?
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool! Good job Paige!
ReplyDeleteThat is really impressive- seriously, I think we WAAAAAY underestimate kids in general- they really are sponges. BEEE Careful!!! You never know what they're picking up when you don't think they are paying attention. hahaa...
