My mum says I was also very otherwise as a toddler and child and I guess i am still rather otherwise today as an adult.

As she grows, she'll demonstrate those leadership qualities that will take her far in life. So much of life is conforming to others' rules and standards. While she's young, it's nice that she's allowed to be contrary. I sometimes do otherwise myself, and it feels really good. :)GratefulTwinMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879198233409638276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-3370836012477789522010-10-04T14:34:58.895+02:002010-10-04T14:34:58.895+02:00I think we all have our 'Otherwise moments'...I think we all have our 'Otherwise moments' don't we?!Shaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969559339071515618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-58734565575712667022010-10-04T11:20:58.309+02:002010-10-04T11:20:58.309+02:00Just being the typical toddler.Just being the typical toddler.cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788508986252339771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410985627936537274.post-66731177126658150882010-10-04T03:21:06.630+02:002010-10-04T03:21:06.630+02:00We sure all do have those days!
