A friend suggested that I might be raising a gifted child.
My gut instinct was to hoot and holler with laughter!!!
The best I can cope with after four years of Chitlin' is that she's very precocious.
Her strange little antics, her unique little ways, her verbose little ways...
Whatever she may be, she sure brightens my days!
'Anne'cdote of the week:
Chitlin' is a bit (OK, EXTREMELY) demanding. Instead of requesting something and using the word please, she just tells one that she wants...We have been trying to 'use the magic word' and each and every other tactic we can think of for her to incorporate this element of human decency and respect when she desires something.
To clarify further for you, please note that we have two kitties that allow us to live with them. I have mastered the cat call - a combination of kissing, clicking, and 'here kitty-kitty' that gets these creatures to come to me.
The other day, Chitlin' said: "Come here right now, Mommy."
My response: "You want to try that again?"
Chitlin' looks at the cat and looks back at me.
She begins kissing and saying in her sweetest little voice:
"Come here little Mommy, Mommy."
Here endeth the scene.
