My almost 4 year old daughter is cracking me up!
Today she decided that she wants to be called by her full name rather than the shortened version! It is an awfully big name for such a little one. :D

1. Oh that age is priceless...
Or so I hear...

But I remember it well....

By the time I wa four, I had already climbed mount everest, battled the invisable man and drifted down the mighty tennessee river with Davey Crockett.....

All without leaving the living room....

2. I have a niece about that age
She is very cute, but she can be difficult sometimes. She likes to think she's an adult sometimes. She gets to calling her daddy by his first name like her mommy does.

3. Our daughter calls my dad by his first name
instead of Grandpa...It is really funny. Thankfully he does not mind.

4. LOL. That age is so funny, they live in their own little world.
A friend of mine has a daughter that age and my son, who's 8, and I went over to see them. We were watching Harry Potter and the little girl all of a sudden says

"I think he wants to marry me"

"Who? Harry Potter?"(asks her mom)

"No, him" (pointing over at my son)

A little while later I was making dinner and heard the kids in the other room, the little girl asked my son to marry her.

6. Good for her! She has the self-confidence to make it in this world....
Sounds to me as though you are doing an outstanding job with your beautiful little daughter!

Props to you, my dear KitchenWitch! And to her for her enthusiasm!

:loveya:

7. At that age, my daughter was going to pre-school
Her nickname was KiKi, from a baby friend who couldn't say Kathleen. So we asked her if she wanted to be KiKi or Kathleen. She considered for a moment, then said, "Kathleen, I think, it's more grown up." All this in that little chipmunk voice. I acted very serious then went into the other room to laugh. But to this day, she is Kathleen. She wasn't kidding.

8. She was Katie but is now Katherine
For a long time we could not get her to buy that her name was Katherine, now she likes it. So Katherine it is! We will likely still slip up now and then, but it is what she wants.

9. I have a 3 1/2 year old daughter going on 23...some of the stuff
she comes up with is amazing.

My wife always tells me, "Watch what you say...Leah is always listening." This became evident to me one day after I nearly broke my neck on some blocks that she had been playing with. My wife heard the commotion and asked me what happened.

"I nearly broke my neck on these effin' blocks"...before I could say anything else, I hear this little voice behind me say,

"Daddy, those are MY effin' blocks!"

It took everything I had not to bust up laughing. I thought my wife was going to kill me! (After she stopped laughing, of course.)

10. When I was young I preferred to be called just by my first name
If someone in my family was calling me by my first and middle name that meant I was in trouble!:scared: :hide:

11. My brother did the same thing in kindergarten
His name is Lucas, but people would call him Luke. One of his teachers called him Luke one day and he corrected her and said "My name is Lucas."
