Luckily, she thought it was funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-971340 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:30:41 +0000 teaberry 971340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes -- I can't believe how observant they can be! </p> <p>I didn't realize my daughter had tuned in at all to my worries that I might have gestational diabetes, until one afternoon about a week ago when she said, "That snack was yummy. But it was too much sugar and now I have diabetes." </p> <p>Fast-forward to this evening as we're coming back home from a potluck:<br /> Her daddy: "Was your popsicle yummy?"<br /> LO: "Yes. But it was a lot of sugar and --"<br /> Her daddy &amp; I at the same time: "No, you don't have diabetes." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-971325 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 00:13:49 +0000 shopaholic 971325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: O.M.G. Mental note to keep "some" things private! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-971311 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 23:47:41 +0000 sarac 971311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today my daughter kicked a ball (she's just learned this) and said 'holy crap!' I try not to swear around her, but clearly not hard enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970905 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 18:34:11 +0000 Maysprout 970905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Yikes, that ones kinda scary!<br /> @Mrs. Jacks: Yeah, I responded 'oh smoking is yucky' but then she looked really sad like I was scolding her for playing, so I probably should have just saved that talk for later. DH convinced me she wasn't about to go to the crack pipe bc of a crayon cig.<br /> @lamariniere: Haha, why'd he only think she had one boob? I get changed in front of our daughter too so whenever we go past a bra section she yells 'bubies!' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970596 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:14:25 +0000 lamariniere 970596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of along the same lines, I am not shy about running around naked in front of my toddler and he know what boobs are. The other day, he took a look at one of the other moms at preschool (who was a week away from birthing her 2nd) and said loudly, pointing, "that lady has one boob". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970584 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 15:06:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 970584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! That's intense. They really are little sponges. And we can't protect them from everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970572 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:58:25 +0000 photojane 970572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: OH GOSH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970540 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:38:30 +0000 VanillaBean 970540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not so far but only time will tell with my LO.</p> <p>I see this all the time with preschool students. Some parents do not realize how much impact the environment have on their children, whether the contact/influence is direct/indirect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970507 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:10:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 970507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. A friend of mines daughter tried to put a tampon in </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970503 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:07:59 +0000 tinyperson 970503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh they pick up on the smallest things, don't they!? LO is too little so far, so nothing yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/too-observant#post-970485 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 13:56:32 +0000 Maysprout 970485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO picked up a crayon today and pretended to smoke a cigarette! No one in either of our families smokes, so I asked if she was doing what the neighbors across the street do and she said smiled and said yes. They do come outside regularly to smoke so she sees them from across the street or when we are walking somewhere and say hi but jeesh, I never realized it made an impression on her. </p> <p>Has your LO picked up on anything surprising lately? </p>
