Smarty Pants - Boast Post

[andrea_h]

After the other post - I agree with Jules1968 that we all usually feel embarrassed to admit how proud we are of our children in the fear that we are thought to be bragging!!.........This is our opportunity to boast about our kids without feeling that we are trying to outdo anyone or anything else - so go ahead tell us how great they are (even though they can be monsters most of the time!!!

I'll start you off........ I have 1 son, Peter, age 3yrs 3mths and he's absolutely fantastic - he is great at talking (the hind legs off a donkey!) and is a whizz on the computer (better than his daddy sometimes), he can count to 20 and add some numbers up to 10, he can recognize all of the alphabet but can't say it in order yet, but he can type his own name on the computer and almost write it too. He is really funny, bright, happy and gorgeous too (takes after his mum).

I can give you a whole list of why he is a little monkey too - but I'll save it for another time.

Your turn...............!!

andrea_h what a clever lad he sounds!!. (not as good as mine though) LOL. I think we should all be able to shout from the roof tops about how great our kids are. I am the very proud mother of two sons. One, 15, who does all the usual teen stuff but he is incredibly handsome and loving towards his old Mum, never failing to tell me he loves me or giving me a hug (that alone makes me feel i have succeeded in being a good parent) he is not accademically(sp) clever but i accepted that a long while ago, but he is a fantastic sportsman and as long as he does in life what makes him happy, then i don't care if he doesn't get a degree! I also have a very clever 2 1/2 year old who i mentioned in the previous post. He has a wicked sense of humour, always making us laugh with the stuff he comes out with! he is currently going through the terrible two's big style and is hard work to say the least.His latest party pieces are impressions, doing little britain and Peter kay "garlic Bread" I think thats pretty clever!!!!!! its nice to feel you can 'brag' without getting the oneupmanship which comes as par for the course with parenting! If you tell someone you son can count to ten, you can bet your life theirs will be either able to count to 20 or they were doing that 6 months ago, rather taking the wind out of your sails!!!!! eventually they all catch up anyway, but as parents, we do like to think ours are the best and are doing things no other kids have ever done at their age!!!!!! and of couse, they are!!!!!

ok my turn.

I have a gifted 10 year old who accelerated a year and is now at the local grammar school. I am so proud of her and for the most she is a loving, wonderful child. next I have a 9 year old who wants to bea vet, loves animals and has just started riding lessons and she doing so well after only 2 lessons. proud mummy feeling LOL. and last but not least the 6 year old who seems to be a natural artist and produces super pictures for me.

three beautiful girls and i think they are all brilliant children.

doesnt it feel good to get to say it!!!!!!!!

Oooo, my go!

8 month old daughter who is saying dada, mumum, nana and gwamma to the respective people! I had a great yayaya conversation with her the other night too. She's beautiful and has big blue (maybe turning brown) eyes. She only cries if she's hungry or fallen over trying to stand up (she seems to want to walk before she can crawl!).

i can't believe this has only had 3 responses!!!!! I thought the mums, and dads among us would be crying out to brag about their kids!!!

[andrea_h]

me too, I thought there would be loads of people wanting to talk about their kids when given a chance!

I have 2 sons, my eldest is almost 6 and my youngest is 3 and I love them dearly.

My eldest could count to 10 at 2 ( we counted as we went up and down the stairs ) and by the time he started nursery at 3 he could count to 20 and knew all his colours and shapes (well most of them anyway lol). He is still very bright and quite often comes away with lovely little comments which make him seem so much older. His dad and I split up recently and I am so proud at how he has dealt with it. He is such a little man now and I am so proud of him.

My little one is a monkey but in the nicest possible way. He is so cheeky and funny and very very determined. He knows lots of numbers and shapes and all his colours too and loves to draw spiderman (well its more like scribbleman lol). He loves to cuddle and is so generous with his things, always offering people a crisp or a sweetie. He is friendly and outgoing and makes little friends easily. He is just the cutest bundle of laughs ever lol.

Other than that there's my cat but I don't think she counts lol.
