After I put DD1 to bed the other night, I was on the phone with my mom (ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE HOUSE). And DD picked up parts of our conversation and was saying things to me about it when she woke up in the morning. No where is safe.

4.5 year old is a massive eavesdropper! she will listen quietly to a conversation, acting as if she's not even there at all, then pipe up with WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT????
We have to use codewords or try to talk away from her because she is likely to repeat something!
-
Mine's not really old enough yet, but she does pick up on every little thing (21 months) even when I don't know she's paying attention. The latest? I call her and DH both "honey" all the time, and now when she needs something she hollers: "Hooooooneeeeeyyyyy!" LOL.

@mfa_lady: my 17 month old has started saying "crap!" Haha little parrot!
-
He definitely listens to everything even when I think he's busy doing other things. One night I put him down for bed and poured a few m&ms in a bowl as a snack and I could hear him shouting m&ms! from his crib. So apparently even noises are not safe!
-
@jhd: Hahahaha. Your son sounds like a man after my own heart. CHOCOLATE LIFE!
-
@mfa_lady: haha he definitely got his love of sweets from mama! I don't let him have it all the time, but what would life be like without chocolate?
-
@FannyMae: That's exactly what mine does!
We have been spelling things out, but now DS1 has started figuring out what we're spelling!!
-
Yes. Def. and she acts like she knows everything
-
Yes!! He will sneak out of his room and listen to us at the top of the stairs...kind of creepy sometimes
-
Whenever we're talking about something in the car, no matter the subject and no matter how quiet we're being, from the backseat we'll hear "Me, Mommy? Me or Weston?" because apparently those are the only possible topics of conversation.
-
Ha yes! Why is it that they never hear what you need them to hear and they always hear what they shouldn't?!
-
Yep, DH and I interrupt adult conversation with our code word "big ears" to catch ourselves. Of course she says, What big ears?!
