She might be very athletic?

My daughter is also verbally advanced and my MIL is a speech pathologist so she is ALWAYS talking about it. I want to tell her to shut up. My DD is who she is, just because she talks a lot doesn't mean anything other than she talks a lot. It's far too early to tell if she's gifted or not and I don't want to put that sort of pressure on her anyway.

DD is now 4.5, she was speaking insanely well starting around 18 months. She's still a very normal, average child. Yep, it's awesome her language is in early, but she still sounds on the normal range.

Stop. No need for the snark. It is not at all crazy to wonder what OP is wondering.
This is OP - thanks for that. I mean why would I be bragging if I don't know any of you people - what good would that do. I was just curious where this falls in the realm of normal - the only other 2 year olds I can compare to are the ones in her daycare class, which are the ones her teachers are comparing her too. I certainly don't think she is a genius or a prodigy but I suspect she is quite bright.
I'm sure she is quite bright and it's impressive how she can express her feelings in words. Hell, I'm 37 and I still have trouble doing that.
NP here. The ability to identify and label her feelings at that age is what struck me. Expect a very emotionally deep child, most likely. She sounds wonderful.
