<<the articulating won't stop>> LOL!! LOOVE it!
mom, just try to live it and BE THANKFUL! your daughter is blessed w/ abilities that other children would certainly benefit from. she is able to tell you, assuming clearly, what she wants, gets results, etc. i *KNOW* about that. i've got one. but i look forward to when she's in her early adulthood, and how her abilities now are helping her make her (generally positive) mark as the bright girl that she is. i'm anticipating it will help her develop confidence which will in turn help her in her teenage years to be able to stand up for herself and against the pressure she's sure to get. maybe get/keep her occupied in activities that will demand that she keep quiet for short periods of time - gymnastics, eventually ballet, art classes, etc. you can eventually treat her self discipline, but in the mean time, maybe have her learn to use her 'indoor voice' and secondly, be THANKFUL for the bright, articulate blessing that she is :)
