Do your kids know things you didn't know they did?

My son is at a 13-18 month old baby's cognitive level. He totally shocked me by drinking a juice pouch. I'm talking about one of those pouches that if you squeeze it the juice explodes onto you. He did excellent. I didn't know he knew how to drink juice pouches. Sometimes he just surprises me. Do your kids ever surprise you with what they know?

Some babies are totally amazing. My son was more of the messy kind of baby. My daughter also, but she took eating and drinking serious.

I think all kids take eating seriously. It's like an instinct with them to survive.

@inertia4 Oh lord, you don't need to tell me. Part of the joys of autism is the smell, sense, and texture. My kids will only eat certain things and heaven help us if it doesn't meet their standards. HAHAHA

@mommaj I agree with that. But you have some finicky ones as well. Some kids will not eat certain things. I was one of those kids. And I still am.

The funniest thing my daughter did to me was at two years old I had pointed out some cats to her at a store parking lot and she couldn't see them. The next parking lot I was taking her out of the vehicle and so seriously she goes Mommy Mommy do you see the dog? Look Look. I'm turning every which way to make sure there wasn't a dog around that could be vicious. And I asked her where the dog was and she smiled "Just Kidding", and starts giggling.
