seablue, I've been through the same thing with DD3. Sometimes it can be a bit embarrassing when you're in the waiting room with a child the same age or at a gathering with another same-age child. I guess I don't mean to be embarrassed, because I'm very proud of DD, but it has made me cringe when she'd do something clearly not-so-typical for her age in front of a lot of people with similar-aged children.
I'm trying to learn that I can be proud of her even in front of other people without looking boastful or snobby. There's a fine line and it's a hard one to balance.
I just took DD3 to her 3-yr check-up and the milestone evaluation questions kind of made me chuckle, but when I pictured my DB answering the questions about his DD3, I could see how the questions were appropriate in her case. Then again, I thought something was wrong with my niece for the longest time. Oops, she's okay, ND.
