So it's not just me. My first moment was when she was about 13 months and I told her that my rules for nursing is that she has to fit on my lap. Once she no longer fits, she'd have to quit. She noticed that her feet were indeed sticking out of my lap so she crossed her legs. I was so confused and when she realized that I was confused, she had this triumphant smile.

It's not that I never expected young toddlers to be able to solve simple problems but it's was her cheekiness beyond her years that threw me off. I should have known what was to come after that day but I stayed in denial for many more months. Maybe I still am in denial.
