The Gifted One...

As I mentioned my daughter is literally gifted, with this comes special traits, or as I occasionally call them "abilities to annoy mommy into an aneurysm". Don't get me wrong, I love that my daughter is so intelligent and creative, but there are days when I wouldn't mind to dumb her up a bit. She started talking at five months and hasn't stopped. I am not talking about little coos and babbles. It was Mama, Daddy, kitty cats. By 7 months she was chasing the cats through the kitchen in her walker screaming, "Go kitty cats, go". By her first birthday she was embarking on full sentences and had master the art of holding ones breath in protest, lovely. It was around that time that the singing began. It started off innocently enough. We would sing old McDonald and she would see us out with an "EIEIO". Then it was "ABCDP on me". This sweet little talent turned in to a Juggernaut. She is known as the singing girl everywhere we go. We have yet to leave a public place without a full melodic performance. Granted it is adorable and I am painfully proud of her, but when you have spent 2 hours in the doctors office with a sick baby the last thing I want is to make the rounds so she can go caroling to the nurses station, front office, and lets not forget the billing office. Then I have to somehow manage to grease up her head to forcefully squeeze her ego out off the doors. Her little performances do seem to have sometimes substantial perks, more than an extra lollipop which she realllllllly does not need. Have I mentioned the ADHD. We have received easier appointment setting, discounts at the dentist, cookies, cupcakes, toys from the secret special box, and tons of extra one on one time. While she is busy bewitching the staff and doctors I manage to squeak in a few dozen extra questions. Plus it is really easy to overlook the crazy demanding Mommy when her kid is so damn cute. So although it is odd to find her singing on the toilet(by odd I mean weird, not uncommon), I wouldn't change her for the world.

I attempted to download a video of the little siren in action but after waiting for over an hour I cancelled it. I know I can be a bit free with words at time, but seriously over an hour!
