I have a small question about this sentence concerning the position of 刚刚:

刚刚我在荡秋千的时候，一个阿姨给我的。

The chinese dictionaries (well, those, which I have) unanimously say, that 刚刚 is an "adverb" （副词）. And I had a feeling, that chinese 副词 are found before the predicate/verb (like "I listen to music quite often": 我常常听音乐, but not *常常我听音乐). Am I wrong?

Or maybe 刚刚 can be a "time-word" (like 今天，星期一，以前), which can be put before the subject: 今天我很忙 ＝ 我今天很忙。

Or (sorry for a long comment! :) in this case 刚刚 is a part of a structure 刚刚⋯⋯的时候, but i've never heard/read about this pattern. Thanks!
