I had never realized how lucky we are until I found this board. It just astonishes me to read about "friends" and family telling your children they only think they can read, that they can't really do the stuff they're sitting there doing, and all the other things that you've had to put up with.
One of my favorite (said with sarcasm) phrases that we heard a lot was: Reading at age 2 is a splinter skill!!! lol
It can be frustrating at times for sure, but I like to look back on the "early years" and laugh at the comments we endured. It gives perspective to things that we are hearing now. The best advice we ever got was simple, "Keep your sense of humor!"
