What does your toddler do that’s advanced for his/her age?

Our just-turned 2 yo can put on her own socks

A wide range of curse words and used them within context. I am impressed and mortified.

My neighbor’s toddler can stand on his head. Feet and legs completely up and body straight. And he does it without help.

DS has been taking showers since he was 20 months old. He goes under the big shower head and gets wet; he steps toward us to get soaped up and the rinses under the water himself.

I found my baby cousin on top of the fridge at my grandma's once when he was like 18 months old. He climbed the cabinets. He's now a competitive rock climber.

That's really cool. I wonder if she'll maintain an interest in art over time.

Then a few days ago she was crawling around the house with me behind her. She confidently crawled over to the stairs and started climbing, lifting each hind leg up to the next riser and hoisting. She went about halfway up the flight before she got tired. She has no sense of what is behind her or how precarious her position; we have ordered gates!!


Our 9M old climbs the stairs. He’s fearless when it comes to anything physical and absolutely the most cautious kid of all time socially.

My 14 month old daughter has over 150 words and speaks in two word phrases.

My 2.5 year old boy can hear a song one time and will remember and sing the entire lyrics the next day.

My DD was like a standup comic. I loved it. Unfortunately, now that she's a teenager, my life has become a celebrity roast.

Wow, impressive! I can only imagine his gymnastic exploits in a few years. You should post an update thread.

My first could point to all the parts of the vacuum at 17 months (wasn't speaking yet). It was probably 10 different parts- wheels, base, handle, cord, filter, switch etc. Then around 20 months he learned to say each letter of the alphabet just before he started saying actual words. He's 5 now and all his preschool teachers have commented that his memory is beyond what's typical.

Nothing special comes to mind for my second.

16 months old. He understands both English and Spanish. We speak English and his nanny and sister speak Spanish.
