My Kid’s A Genius! Maybe?
My family constantly tells me how intelligent my daughter is. She sit’s up straight and everyone says “Oh look at her posture! She’s so smart!” She get’s 7 teeth in 2 months and the response is “Babies her age just don’t do that!” At what point do you listen? Or don’t you? Everyone wants to believe that their child is a genius. It would be great to feel secure in their future. But is there a way to tell?
I’m not convinced that my daughter will be a Nobel Prize winner due to her rapid tooth arrival. She was playing on her electric piano the other day though and she could copy every tune I played. That was pretty awesome. But I’m still not convinced she’s Mozart.
I choose to roll my eyes at my family’s comments. I prefer not to think about it. I would love for Abigail to be a genius but let’s face it, it’s probably genetics and I just don’t have goods. My husband is rather intelligent though… No. I am choosing to ignore the possibility. She may grow teeth like a shark and play chop sticks like a champ but until she explains Einstein’s theory of relativity to me she is just my baby girl.
Now we are going to go read the dictionary.
Has anyone else felt like this before with your children?
