So several pieces of my paintings are licensed with a children's wall art company, and recently I have gotten the product samples from them... canvases and a lamp that is intended for kids rooms. I basically created all of them with my son (3 years old) in mind. I showed it to him, he was really excited. He has a old camera that is half broken, and he just kept taking pictures of the canvases and the lamp with it. Finally I put them all up in his room, and he goes on and on basically like this: </p> <p>"Mommy, you made these for me? I really like these. You make my life so beautiful. I am so happy. Thank you mommy." </p> <p>These are direct quotes!! I am quite surprised he was capable to say "You made my life beautiful". And he said that several times on different days. Sometimes my monkey can be quite sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2206032 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 20:40:49 +0000 Greentea 2206032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to a new library with an alphabet rug. She danced and ran around the rug naming each letter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2206017 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 20:33:41 +0000 Charm54 2206017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She knows all her colours..I was surprised, I thought she just knew yellow and pink but the past few days she has been pointing them all out to me everywhere </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2206013 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 20:30:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2206013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: haha my nephew does that to me sometimes.

Still will be a while before we send her to day care in panties and not pull-ups but I am really impressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2205922 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:46:49 +0000 mrsjazz 2205922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Netflix! yes, my LO can spell this one, too. </p> <p>Just learned that she can sight read song titles from her two favorite artists, MJ &amp; Abba. I didn't believe at first so I shuffled the songs around and asked her play me some songs and she played them correctly. Wondering if Chiquitita and Thriller are on the kindergarten gifted test, haha. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2205900 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:35:14 +0000 photojane 2205900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Apparently she knows how to make phone calls. She was talking about daddy the other night in the car while she was playing a Disney Princess app on my phone. Suddenly she gets quiet and the app noise disappears. A minute later I hear her chatting away. I looked back and she said "talkin' to daddy!" and showed me the phone... they were actually talking. She decided that she missed him and needed to chat. I guess she can read his name...? haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2205897 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:34:44 +0000 Kimberlybee 2205897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Wow, so smart! Way to go cutie! We always count to 20 together while going up and down the stairs (17 actually). Yesterday she counted to 12 by herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2205892 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:31:07 +0000 Foodnerd81 2205892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She surprises me often with what she repeats. Full complex sentences with the exact same intonation that I use. It's hilarious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-has-your-toddler-surprised-you-with-lately#post-2205886 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 19:28:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 2205886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my daughter spelled netflix aloud yesterday when it flashed on the screen. and sight-read the word "gift" today. </p> <p>guess the screen time isn't SO terrible :P </p>
