10 signs your toddler’s a genius

David and I get quite a charge from our youngest kid.
We do. It’s been awhile since we’ve had a toddler underfoot. So maybe we’ve forgotten how busy they are – and the sound of chubby bare feet slapping on the hardwood floors, because toddlers ALWAYS run, don’t they? They run like they can’t swallow all this excitement of their world quite fast enough.
Which probably explains why X farts like a 200-pound man: all that gulping air.
The thing we’ve determined is our baby boy is, aside from being the cutest guy on the planet, also the smartest.
Here are 10 things that show his brilliance:
10. He says “dada” all day long but never “mama.” He knows who the Fun Guy is.
9. He can work his brother’s CD player and goes upstairs and plays Michael Jackson and has his own dance party – by himself.
8. He started riding a scooter at 16 months.
7. He knows exactly which toys his siblings like best – and when he steals them and runs they appear to get very, very agitated.
6. He totally works chocolate-brown crinkly eyes and dimples when he’s pushed me to the edge.
5. He knows smacking you in the face gets your attention.
4. When you ignore the smacking, he stops, hustles over to his toy bin, selects a shovel, returns and proceeds to whack you with that.
3. He helps you attempt to yank the canister out of the Dyson. When it clearly doesn’t work, he inspects the vacuum, then starts pointing and grunting at something – which is the diagram showing how to remove the canister.
2. He chooses not to talk, thereby forcing us to open the pantry to let him have his choice of the contents.
1. Genetics, baby.
