DD#2 was an early and advanced talker, she too always had excellent diction. Even when she spoke with simple words she had an innate ability to convey exactly what she wanted to you to understand, so she had very little frustration over not being understood. People often commented how unsuaully happy she was for such a determined little child. As a baby and small toddler she was always determinedly trying to achieve something but that did not lead to nearly as many meltdowns as you would have expected.
It's when she talks about the random stuff she is thinking about that you do see what is going on in there. But she doesn't have those talks with many people. And indeed she has always had advanced gross and fine motor skills too. As you say flower, it is interesting how much harder it is to make sense of a small child who can't/won't speak but for whom that does not necessarily reflect what is or is not going on inside. My third child is quite the little puzzle at 16 months old, I have no clear sense of how she is tracking.
