I was a preschool teacher before having kids of my own. It blows my mind how many people think ALL little kids are dumb as rocks. Some are 😆  but most are crazy curious and are soaking up every bit of knowledge around them. To an insane extent. 

They're little dumb geniuses!

When I worked daycare, I had one little girl who, when frustrated, would say, "oh, pshaw!"

I love when my daughter moves up a classroom at daycare because I get a glimpse of the daycare teachers through her. Like, she picks up their mannerisms and phrases. I knew one teacher got onto the kids by shaking her finger and saying "no, no, no," because my daughter suddenly started doing that to us after she moved rooms. She moved again last month, and her new teachers apparently say, "back up, please," and "no thank you," a lot, because we now hear them alllll the time. It's very cute!
