How My Nephew Is A Genius.

The Nephew’s birthday is on Sunday. This means Sunday is Mother’s Day, The Nephew’s 6th birthday and my 2nd LJ anniversary. His party is Saturday. They are having it at a park so here’s crossing my fingers that is doesn’t rain and that it isn’t as cold as the last time. It is a robot theme party, so my sister made a giant robot costume out of a

Hope you guys manage to find a way for the picking up thing...if not he can always start learning languages (I speak 5 total), it's best starting up as a kid (he's in the best age right now), because his brain learns it differently and it will be much more easier on him if he decides learn them when he grows up some (trust me, know this from experience). You could get him some of these self-learning kits and maybe try with him (there's a chance that after a while his own family won't have a clue what he's saying if you don't :-D).

everything you have ever said about your mom, she just sounds like the awesomest mom ever!
She really is :-D She won't shy away from anything (like how babies are made for example :-D She explained it from the biological side, how it works, got us a brochure with pics too...Screw birds and bees or storks! :-D)

Dude! Freaking out because a kid climbed a tree? We have a whole bunch of trees in our garden and we all climbed each and every one of them...repeatedly :-D
We have this big pear tree that's good for sitting in it laughing at the hens that run underneath it :-D

BTW I have this spoiled little cousin, he's a complete idiot, my mom and lil' sis were visiting mom's parents for a few weeks (they live in a little cottage in summer) and he was there.
He started banging his head against the desk he was sitting at when mom wouldn't do what he wanted her to. Mom was like "meh, not my kid, not my problem, not my head, I'm not your damn server, you want to bang your brains out, feel free" and she went for a walk with lil' sis. :-D

And yet, somehow, all of us kids used to carry on conversations with adults like we were adult too. I don't know where we got that from if mom talks to kids like they are babies.
Haha, maybe some other influences were involved too :-D

He already speaks quite a bit of Spanish (more than I ever did even when I was taking Spanish). One of those audio kits on languages would be a good idea! When I worked in child care, we had this 3 year old girl who could do the entire opening song of Beauty and The Beast even though half of it was in French. I was so amazed because sometimes I couldn't understand her English and yet here she was speaking French.

Dude! Freaking out because a kid climbed a tree?

Idek. My cousin's kid is 12 and they treat him like such a baby. They won't even let him walk home from school and he lives like 5 blocks from the school. I was already steadily babysitting other people's kids by the time I was 12 and they won't let him stay home alone. I don't know what his dad's position is on all this but both my aunt and my mom keep telling me how 'immature' the kid is. I am like, "Maybe if everyone would stop treating him like a baby, he'd stop acting like one."

And the funny thing is, we used to climb trees all the time and my mom never freaked out then. We used to do insanely dangerous stuff like tying a skateboard to the back of a bike and then someone would sit on the skateboard and the bike rider would pedal as fast as he could down the steep hill that lead into the trucking route road. We were allowed to do that but this kid isn't allowed to climb a tree?

"meh, not my kid, not my problem, not my head, I'm not your damn server, you want to bang your brains out, feel free" and she went for a walk with lil' sis. :-D

Good for her!!! My mom and my aunt are always trying to reprimand other people's kids and it pisses me off. I am a big fan of "not my kid, not my problem," when it comes to misbehaving children.

Yeah, what if the kid has some "artsy" parents that are against any restrictions? Then your mom would and aunt would only get a "lecture" about letting the kid's spirit free *acts like a dork on weed*

Wheeeeeeee :-D
