Reasons To Love Lidster : 1, 2, 3

Midget 2, the eponymous blond haired angelic smiled Lidster, is currently on a charm offensive.

An oxymoron I know, as she is charming to everyone else and nothing but offensive to her mother.

As the number of screaming tantrums she has lessens (last week, she only had 15 on Tuesday, something of a new record for Lid), and her vocabulary expands (though it should be noted that her ability to learn a word directly correlates to how many times and how loudly she can scream it angrily at me in public, preferably at the farm shop where the hippy mothers tut at me disapprovingly as she gorges herself on cheese and onion Walkers and has a widdle on the stone floor having refused the toilet several times), she is turning into quite the social experimenter.

We already know that Lid is on the spectrum, most likely at the Aspergers end, but what else do we know about the legend that is The Lidster?

• The Lidster does not "do" vegetables. For her, any meal must have had a pulse at some point or it just will not do and must be returned to the Chef, preferably by means of her lobbing it at high velocity and with great force at said Chef.
• Lid is a dancer at heart. A very, very bad dancer, but a dancer none the less. She can dance to anything. It is submitted that she is so far ahead of her time, modern choreography needs to expand and evolve to be able to "get" her fine moves.
• The girl has fashion know how. She likes extreme combinations - a recent example would be liquorice allsort wellington boots, a fairy dress, a police man's hat and a wizard's cape. You may scoff, but you'll be wearing this in a year or so's time, and looking nowhere near as cool as she did and does.
• She likes nothing better than to stuff every pocket with something to eat, then stand in the garden ripping said items open with her teeth, whilst growling at next door's dog.
• Extreme annoyance at any action made against her (such as bringing her unsuitable food, looking at her in a way she deems inappropriate etc), with her response being to put her hands on her hips, growl and furrow her brow, then she will stomp her foot, make a loud "harrummph" and then, for good measure, add a "mmeeeeeeee-oooo" on the end.
• She has an extremely cheeky grin, and has mastered Mummy's "get her own way" look. Lid works said look to much better effect than Mummy ever has.
• Lid is obsessed with blutac. She loves the texture, liking to roll it between her fingers as a comforting stim, and gets extremely excited when she sees it ("Look! Looooookkkkk! Blutac! Mummmmmmmy! Blutac!"). Himself recently brought her back a packet of white tac to "blow her mind". Lid's mind was duly blown, with her indicating said tac and intoning with wonder "Loooook! Blutac white! Lily magic!"
• Rather beautifully, Lid dislikes any form of injustice real or imagined, and has been known to shout at members of certain political parties who may or may not have been chased from Wiltshire Towers by Mummy whilst she wielded a trampette in their direction "you're poo!"

All in all, she is a dazzling madwoman, a future feminist (despite her love of pink that has developed since she started pre school), most definitely a future dom due to her desire to have her own way, lest she should stamp her feet and start mewing at you in a bizarre manner, she may possibly be the future emperor of the universe. I certainly wouldn't put it past her, the bonkers bossy wee mare.
