20 months going on 5

From the moment she was born, Miss Polly was already acting like she knew a lot.  She was crawling at 7 months old and walking by 10 and half, it seemed like she wanted to skip the baby stage and went right into be a toddler. Now at 20 months, she is done being a toddler. She thinks she is as big as her brother and sister and should have the same treatment as them.

Every time Jathan and Brianne go outside to play with friends, Miss Polly has to go along. She is overjoy when she gets to go, but when she is left behind.. O boy! She is not a happy camper. She would have the saddest face then ask "Why?" In fact, she asks me why about 50 times a day. I will not be surprised to hear "not fair!" coming out from that little mouth in the near future.

After having 3 kids and with a lot of nieces and nephews around, we can say it in confidence that Miss Polly is a little advance in her verbal skill. I don't know any 20 months old talks as much as my daughter, she expresses herself very well most of the time, she would tell me she wants food or she is tired or she needs to do some business in the bathroom. Couple nights ago, she was awaken by a nightmare, and saying "cary, cary!" (she meant scary.) It is nice to know exactly what she want, but she really can talk your ear off. =)

I have to say that Miss Polly is quite a little mama. Since she doesn't think she is a baby or a little girl, she thinks all little ones are babies. We were at a grocery store one times, and she saw a mom who was holding a kid (must be at least 3 or 4), Polly pointed at the kid and said "Oh, baby!"  Clearly, she has no concept about age. haha!! In nursery at church, she is one of the youngsters but it doesn't stop her to make sure the other kids are behaving. she saw some kids are pushing the divider in the room, she yelled at all of them: "Hey! stop!" The teacher and I just laughed and thought it was very cute.

In few days, Jathan and Brianne are starting school. Polly and I are going to have few hours alone. It's going to be interesting, she is so used to having Jathan and Brianne home, she might be going in withdrawn when they are in school, but I am looking forward to spend some time with her just me and her.
