But think my child may be a genius. Sure, she may say funny things that make me laugh. Like:
We had a bowl of mangos on the table. She brought one to me and said "Mom, can I eat this flamango?
All of a sudden she thinks when cats meow, they are saying "Smell" but it sounds more like "smeeeyl". She got a cat costume for Halloween. She walks around practicing "smeeeyl, smeeeyl, smeeeyl."
She can sing every word of "Good Morning Baltimore" from Hairspray. I'm not exagerating - THE WHOLE SONG!
She grabbed my (ahem) love handle and said "What's these?" Since she's (almost) a genius, I corrected her and said "You say "What's this" - after all, she was only squeezing one.
We actually had a successful use of the potty last night (I'm telling you GEN-IUS!) OK, so it's the first success in months, but it was a gifted moment for me.
I hope everyone knows that I'm joking about her Mensa status, but all that aside, she did do something that blew me away last night. I was sketching some stuff for her room and she had some paper and markers and was sitting on the floor beside me. I wasn't paying much attention to what she was doing, but she stood up and handed me a paper and said "Look mom, I made a kitty." This is it.
My two year old! Drew this! All by herself! I'm sure nobody thinks it's as amazing as I do, but I was flabergasted that my child, who up until this point has only scribbled circles, actually drew a legible cat. For a few moments, I was the proud momma of a child "genius". Then she moved the paper in front of my face and said "smeeeyl."

cute, cute, cute!
what a little doll she is!
I'm so laughing out loud! That is really amazing!!! I'm gonna have to vote for the child-genius based on the picture alone. I think that is really amazing for a 2 year old. And I've had a few.
A total genius, and don't let anyone tell you different! ;-) The picture is so amazing. wow
smeeeyl...so great, can't wait to see her costume :)
Wow! Amazing! So stinkin' cute! Sophie says "moooooooow" without the "meeeee", and she does it with a frown...too funny!
Mmm...my 4 year old doesn't draw that well. We all know that she doesn't speak as well as AJ either. I say GENIUS!
That is a really great picture for a two year old. I'm all for you claiming genius status on her! To cute!!
Definitely genius! :) Too cute!
That is such a great picture she drew! She is a genius! My favorite picture you posted of her is the one in her cowgirl boots and she is pulling an attitude holding her glasses. I love that pictures of her!
I found your blog off of Laurie's. This is amazing. She really does seem like a very smart girl! I am a preschool teacher and, seriously, that drawing from a two year old is not normal!!
