To boast and not even stealthily?

[catgirl1976]

PFB DS is 14 months old

Today he stacked 8 bricks on top of the other.

That's good isn't it? Should I ring Cambridge now and let them know?

Mind you, he's not walking yet and he can't find his mouth with a spoon, but still

8 bricks.

Focus on the 8 bricks, obviously that is more important than walking or eating! He will be an architect or something equally clever that stacking of bricks is essential for.

Did he enjoy knocking them down too?

YANBU!

He loved knocking them down :)

I am vair proud

Ooh yes, architect would be a nice career for him

DH thinks he will be a Barbarian tribe leader

And yes, walking and eating are totally over rated

Everyone does that

Well, except him

Fuck ringing Cambridge, what's wrong with you?

Get him out working on the building sites and earning his keep

That's not a bad idea Worra.

Only trouble is he'd knock stuff down as fast as he built it.

Maybe he could switch between building and operating one of those swingy, ball, destructy things

Get off that cloud OP, eight bricks is the norm

Ah feck

DM was so impressed it was infectious

Perhaps she is a tad biased

12mo DD can hold a phone to her ear and say "hiya!". I believe this means she will have outstanding language skills and will write a bestseller in 8 languages herself.

I'm ignoring the fact that she also holds the remote, a toy cat, and a slipper to her ear

She can't stack cups though. I am in awe.

Oh yes Nelly

Your DD is clearly going to speak about 19 languages and win many, many prizes for literature. Perhaps also some sort of renowned public speaker too? :)

Quick enrol him in an architectural engineering programe straight away!

DD1 is a member of Mensa and just completing her phd in neuroscience at 3 and 3 months, she could only do 5 bricks at 15 months, so and awe at your DS.

PM me and I'll send you the name of our tiger mummy coach.

caveat none of the above is true though she is an unrecognised genius, child model and Oscar winning actress

She does tell herself jokes - chatters away for a few minutes to herself and then laughs hysterically. A world renowned comedian, perhaps.

Can you Tiger Mom architecture?

wel jel of your super intelligent offsprings... my DD is 14wk and has got 2teeth.. fangs infact... i have bred a vampire!

I will give Tiger Mumming architecture a very good try

"Don't you think a Doric column would look better on that Lego house DS? Hmmm, hmm?"

LIke that?

Am loving all the other supremely gifted babies on this thread :) If we got them all together, they'd probably take over the world or something

(or at least dribble on it for a bit)

You DD has superpowers celebmum

Doric column - genius!

My 19 month old can only do 5, so I' m impressed! Fine motor control is not his strong point. Unless it' s food related, for which he will make an effort. he can count to ten in two languages though

Ds looked after me today by force feeding me grapes. And then demanded to dh "Tea, daddy! Get Mummy tea."

I think my work here is done. What more does he need to learn to do?

Meh. Bricks schmicks.

DS2 (12 months) can put socks on the drying rack.

Unfortunately he will then get the urge to retrieve them about twenty minutes later, and pull every other item of the rack in order to find where he put them.

My 14 month old can now stack his rings on the column thing properly...but he hasn't stacked blocks yet, shit!

Guess I'll be drilling him in construction tomorrow

Oh my god. I think my soul aim in life now is going to be to teach DD to demand that DP brings me tea...

DS2 can also balance his brother's pants on his head....

Brings you tea?

I have been focusing my parenting in all the wrongs areas

Laundry and feeding are clearly the way forward!

DS puts chocolate in my mouth and says 'eat mummy, eat'.
