I remember mine and physically cringe. DS1 is very bright, learned to walk and talk early and had a good vocabulary. So bright and developmentally at the top end (younger DS slower on all counts but both totally normal) but not exceptional.

Being shown round a lovely nursery and I said on more than one occasion how he was "really very smart" and that the doctor had said how clever he was (local GP had said she's very good speech wise and health visitor had said similar.

I cringe so hard every time I think about it. He goes to that nursery and whenever I see the head who showed us around I just think about how much of a wanker I must have seemed 😭😫😆

This has had us in stitches in the office (and you don't want to know what Hebe did to some innocent blueberries) so we are moving it to Classics now.
Many thanks for such a good time, GiantWaterBottle!

To my shame, I pureed blueberries when my PFB was approx 7 months old, because I was concerned that (even 'squished') they might present a choking hazard. Having pureed them, I was disappointed to see that there were still small bits of blueberry skin present. So obviously I SIEVED the blueberry puree to remove that. Unfortunately, what those two processes does to blueberries is turn the pureee into one, massive, solid, gelatinous lump of blueberry jelly. So I found myself back at square one. I kept it in the fridge and carefully shaved off tiny slithers of blueberry lump to give to PFB.

He's now ten and is currently upside down on a swing eating a packet of Nerds for breakfast.

I am, however, the woman who made her DH seal the letterbox shut from the inside when we got our first rescue cat because I was worried the two-stone furry monster might somehow use his claws to prise open the letterbox from the inside, squeeze his massive heft through the tiny letterbox and escape and become lost.

So looking back I think maybe I am the common denominator here rather than the PFB.
