DD is 3. Just.
She gets herself ready in the morning and enjoys choosing her clothes.
She had some new shoes this week and was excited about wearing them to her nursery session. She picked her clothes to go with her shoes.
She showed me her outfit, clearly pleased with herself and said to me "I'm beautiful mummy!". I agreed. DD says "not clever, mummy, beautiful." I told her she is definitely both but no, apparently she is beautiful.
I'm trying not to read too much into a single incident but I am gutted. (exclamation mark deleted; this is important to me)
Does anyone have advice to help me firmly redress this balance? She's so young.
