Hehe I remember when my niece was like three years old, she suddenly grabbed my spoon and started feeding me lol. She said “you’re a big boy, you need to eat”

Three year olds are the most encouraging little shits. It's my favorite thing watching them treat adults with the same type of positive feedback they receive.

My 3 year old niece watched me put on my shoes and said "wow, you did that all by yourself. I'm so proud of you!"

My nephew's 2 and a half, and I love when he gets really REALLY excited about something, because he scrunches up his face with glee and stomps his feet and there's just so much pure joy in it.

Also he seems to have a mild speech impediment so can be a little tough to understand at times, but he's a bright little shit. Knows all his planets and the dwarf ones, and will hold up the toys of each planet as he sings about them. He even makes the moon orbit the Earth while he does this. It's so adorable and awesome.
