My Child Is An Achiever

Let me say that again. My child is an achiever. I knew it the moment I saw her in that nursery room a few hours after I gave birth. How did I know? Well, I am her mom. So. I mean it's a pretty normal for a mom to assume that her child/children will take the world by storm someday. Svetlana is one child who will do many great things as she grows older. In fact, she's starting to show potential at such a young age. Lemme share to you what she has managed to do so far:

She can open and close her hands upon request. And at a fast forward pace, too, that you wouldn't be able to keep up with your command. Impressed? Oh, I am just starting. Wait till you read the others.

She has already eaten most food that only one-year-old children are allowed to eat. Like hotdogs. And spaghetti (yes, the pasta and the sauce). And bread. And cup cakes. And rice. And everything else that happens to be on the menu. Remarkable, eh?

She has already ripped apart three lovely story books and ate some of the pages. Simply precious.

She has already tasted all the slippers inside the house. She's developed a fetish at six months already. How extraordinary is that?

She has already crawled all corners of the house (under the bed, too. yes.) and developed intimate friendship with the floor with her face constantly smacking on it. Exceptional? Yes.

She and her shadow are already best friends. They have come to know each other so well that Svet would stare at her shadow and talk to it for a full ten minutes. Now that in itself is an achievement. Everything else holds her attention for not more than two seconds. It's just wonderful.

I don't want to say more, lest a talent scout or an agent from the Guinness Book of World Records come knocking at our door to introduce Svet to the world as the latest child wonder. She is still too young for show business. I'll wait it out till she's 14. I told here she is destined to rule the world one day. She was shocked.
