Is this Cutie 2 years old?

Yes, mummy's been asking herself this.

Today as mummy took out the baby clothes out of the washer, my Cutie who has been sticking to wherever I go, went out of the room. I was surprised, but I was not bothered and continued hand-rinse the clothes [dunno why the person design the Scense Washing Machine did not forsee the need to have a Rinse function??]. Then I carried the pail to the laundry room and guess what I saw... my Cutie was there already, removing the dried baby clothes on the clothes rack. I just felt so touched (she had gone off earlier in order to help me clear the clothes rack, so sweet). After that, she helped me to take the clothes out of the pail one by one. She will give the clothes a shake before handing to me (haha... imitating me).

Mummy really enjoys communicating with her cos' I don't feel as if I'm talking to a 2-year old kid. First, she can understand what I say and secondly, her reply is so adult-like, yet with a tint of cuteness.

Yesterday, mummy told her "Diego is a good boy, must be a good boy like Diego" (Diego is Dora's cousin and now her favourite character). Guess what she told me. Ahem, to be exact what she corrected me.

She said, "Mummy, I'm a girl, not a boy." Mummy has to "apologise" that she must be a good girl.

Till date, we are still in "debate" that the Corelle soup plate which she uses for her meal, is called a plate or a bowl. Every time, I told her "plate", she will correct me that "it's a bowl". Well, based on what I've taught her, she's not wrong in differentiating a plate and a bowl. Actually, I do agree with her [but the box stated it's a soup PLATE", arrgh...].

Finally after checking the definitions for both bowl and plate, I'm more convinced it should be called a BOWL Haha... can't believe that my Cutie is right.

This triggers a thought in me - what's the difference between an adult and a child? An adult is one that has been moulded by the society, past experiences and is rigid in our thinking, whereas a child is one who is brave to stand up for his/her belief against the odds.

So never underestimate what a 2-year old child, we have a lot more to learn from them.
