Use the ideas for fun :) Not as a dictator. I hate it when these "do your children" comparisons and instructions begin. They usually all catch up with one another naturally. Learn the fine art of not paying attention and enjoy your girl. Sing and draw for fun! buy the play doh. It's only a dollar ;) Love you!deenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-81776540243497593702010-04-07T23:22:24.759-05:002010-04-07T23:22:24.759-05:00keila - that DOES make me feel better :)

I sang the ABCs with Matthew the other day (he's 3 1/2) in a panic because I've never purposely done that with him.

In life we need to learn to laugh instead of stress, and I am so glad that you break it all down to bottom line... Maddie probably knows her ABC's just can talk them yet,(she can however sing them quite well) and she has already mastered the circle square thing, she showed me the other day on skype, while your back was turned. <br />So thank you again for brightening my day with laughter!<br />love <br />momAdriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010117079673222119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-32274438201546461812010-04-06T19:11:43.422-05:002010-04-06T19:11:43.422-05:00Danielle-I think we're a ways off from hitting...Danielle-I think we're a ways off from hitting abc's by age 2.
