I'm normally so grateful dd gets a comment on her brains instead of her looks (blonde curly hair, blue eyes, crazy fun mishmash style of dressing), that I haven't worried about this. I suppose if it comes up a lot I'd go with what I say about the looks compliments--that we say thank you, and even better, say something nice back. Not necessarily about looks/brains but something nice. Because I had a hard time learning to take a compliment and so I've tried to teach her gracefully.

Eta-- now that DS is getting more comments about his talking/counting, and not just physical stuff, we're back to me awkwardly modeling for dd. Hopefully she'll do better than I! Why not, she's smarter wink
