I'm pretty new to this forum, and I've been reading some of your posts with my jaw almost locked in a "that's astounding" position in response to what some of your kids can do at such young ages. Sometimes I feel out-of-place, thinking that DD2.5 is smart, but not that smart. It seems like a lot of the kids are EG or PG, which feels very out of my league. But today, DD2.5 did something that has amazed my DH and me. It may not be a huge deal to most of you whose kids practically came out of the womb doing it grin , but DD sounded out and read her first word -- TUB.

We are so proud of her, and as far as friends and family go, we have no one to celebrate with us. So this is my little bragging post to say how proud I am of DD2.5, and that her ability to learn amazes me everyday.
