Hi Katelyn's mom,

Welcome. Based on your descriptions it sounds like you may have a child that is very intelligent, even by most GT standards.

It sounds like it probably is a good idea, not to talk "baby shop" with your friend. But I remember when my life revolved around Rolie Polie Olie and diapers. It's just not possible to abstain with a friend you share a lot of time with.

If you haven't already noticed, you don't run into other children her age who are doing the same things. I think over the past year I've read lots of posters tell that someone told them their baby couldn't possibly............

IMO, a child who reads before 2 is actually a good reason for IQ testing. Might be a good idea to find out what you are dealing with.

General thoughts are a child should be five. But based on your descriptions of what your child is doing by two, you may even get very good results at four.

If you can find other moms that you can share baby stuff like this with that see it as matter of fact rather than overestimating braggy mommy that would be a good thing.

If you or DH are in Mensa, or would qualify, that might be a fun social outlet where you could let your hair down a little more. Your baby is your pride and joy! All parents brag a little about their babies! wink You should be able to a little......
