Ok so I know I already tooted my horn yesterday and I dont want to sound like a proud mama or anything, hee hee. No so I get my weekly emails about what Gracie should be doing, ect. And she just amazes me everyday. First I have to say that I never have shoved things down Gracie's throat because I think too much of that and you will miss out on the fun and everything else. So I looked at my email and it says at 17 months old and 4 weeks they should be able to undress themselves and sort out colors and shapes. HMMMM Wow I thought that is way too advanced for Gracie but, I thought ok today I will give the sorting the shapes a try and just see what she does with it. OF COURSE SHE DID IT THE FIRST TIME! I mixed all the circles, triangels, and squares in a pile and showed her how I put the same shapes in piles. Then I mixed them up again and she picked up a circle. So I said ok now get me another circle and she grabs a circle, I say get me the last circle...sure enough she digs for the last circle. She went on to do amazing with the other shapes.
I guess my thoughts on this is although I dont believe in shoving this down your kids throats and they will learn with time I still would've never done this this early so I think we can under-estimate the kiddies at times. Just a thought...and
YEAH GRACIE LYNN....AGAIN!

That's great Lynds. They grow so fast! My kids still amaze me every single day. They're a lot smarter then we give them credit for. Good job Gracie!
What a smart little adorable girl you have there! She so unbelievably cute! LOL I get emotional watching these little ones grow up so fast, it tells you how fast life goes by. Yes, we should definately get together soon. The kids would have a blast and we could do something fun at the same time. You're great, wish we didn't live so far away from each other. Have a great weekend!
