One Way Your DC is Unique?

Jsut trying to keep this board moving...

Is there 1 way in which your child is unique? Something silly or different than most kids?

I know my DD is unique in many ways, but this one stands out - it's a quirk I guess.

From the moment she was born to this very day, she has hated to be covered. I tried to swaddle her a few times in the week after she was born, which always resulted in thrashing and screams until I "set her free". The best I could ever get was a swaddle under the arms - her arms had to be free.

And even now, at the age of 6, if I try to cover her at night, she will immediately, in a sound sleep, kick those covers off. I'm a "covered always" person so it drives me nuts! I always have to make sure that the jammies she is wearing are enough coverage for the weather - good thing we live in Florida!

If I can throw in a second one - DD loves vegetables. Raw. She will eat spinach and broccoli and peppers and any raw veggie I can think of before she'll ever touch her meat or carbs. I used to be a vegetarian (until I met my Greek DH - just like the movie, vegetarian made no sense to his mom!) but I think by the time her teens hit we may have another in the family - sounds good to me!

I think DS is unique in many ways. One little quirk he has that always cracks me up is the way he plays with his Matchbox cars. He loves making little lines of them and moves them around methodically. No one is allowed to play with them when he is in this mode. It's delightfully bizarre especially because this is the only thing he is "organized" with.

DD is very social. She has always been very aware of the children around her and has always engaged them. She didn't do a lot of parallel play and always included the kids around her.

Also, she has a big imagination. She is always pretending.

Oh gosh, I don't know if I could pick one or if they are unique or not!

DD talks all.the.time..........when she isn't talking to one of us she is narrating life as it goes by or playing pretend and talking to her toys. I swear her jaw has to be tired at the end of the day! And when she plays pretend, don't watch her or talk to her, if she catches you she always says "mom, don't tell me" meaning don't talk to her or watch her. Her pretend conversations crack me up because it usually involves phrases I have said to her!

She also has a memory of steel and NEVER forgets things! I could tell her something three days ago and assume she would forget so I would be off the hook, no such luck!

My DD has some unique qualities. I would say her biggest one is that she consistantly uses words correctly that are well above the norm for her age group. She has always used big words (and she is a talker! Started talking really early, her first purposeful word was dog at 6 months and by a year she was using two or more words together. She loves to talk!)

One way I was not prepared for DS to be unique is that he is so adaptable. He's never EVER had any kind of separation anxiety, and generally is okay with being with whoever, whether he knows them well or not. He's just super social and makes friends with everyone. It kinda hurts my feelings when we have left him for longer periods (few days) he's just fine with us leaving him with my in laws and often gets mad when we come back LOL! He's been like this since he was an infant. He's just fine for anyone to hold him, feed him, change him, etc.

I know that's a good thing in so many ways, but sometimes I wanted him to want only me! But I know it's better for him to be so comfortable with everyone.
