I love how Naya can just have full on conversations with me & she understands things so well
I think it's partially because I always explain things & talk to her like a person. She always understands & responds. She's still 2 but I've never met a 2 year old who talks as much as she does. My family often says the same thing & they always speak so highly of her intelligence. I know that's not all thanks to me though. My parents say it's because we're good parents but I think Naya might naturally be smart as well because we hardly even try. We just talk to her & teach her things, & she just picks it up easily.
Her mom got surprised recently because when I was talking to Naya & she called me "dada" I laughed & said "you don't even call me that anymore." Naya replied, "yeah I call you daddy" so I told her "& I call you Naya" then she said, "no, call me baby" like she was getting sassy with me 😂 her mom was like "it's so cool how she actually understands you & has conversations with you like that"
Right now Naya got upset with me because she ran at the tv stand & hit the sound bar. It knocked over the sound bar & almost knocked down the TV too. It's a big ass 65" so it definitely would've hurt her. I quickly & sternly told her "Naya don't do that, be careful" & she got upset & was about to cry because of the tone in my voice. She walked out the room but immediately came back to stand in front of me looking sad. I asked her, "what's wrong? Why you sad?" She started mumbling, all I heard was "baby" but I told her "Naya it's okay. I told you don't do that because you almost knocked the TV down. If it falls on you it would hurt & I don't want you to get hurt. That scares me. I'm not mad at you, it's okay but you can't hit things like that"
Her frown turned into a smile right away & she just said "okay" & came & sat next to me.
It makes me happy that she understands so much. I mean I try to say things in ways she'll understand but I think maybe it helps her talk more & express herself better too. She's very calm, understanding, & talkative. I mean she already sings her whole ABC's & she's not even 3 yet 🤷 she's been able to identify letters for a year already. We play word games on her tablet & when I tell her how to spell something she types it out no problem. Now she's already starting to write manually too. I can't really explain it with words but anybody who meets her gets really impressed by her manners & how much she talks & knows 🥹 to the point that people are always bragging about my kid.. especially my stepmom or any women that meet her. I don't even have to brag over her myself but I low-key be so proud of my kid.
