It is funny to look back at all the "signs" we ignored. But I'm glad we were so clueless... we just did our thing. Now with dd#3 I've been thinking back to #1's 3rd birthday when the kids had to go upstairs and find princess shoes one with their first name and one with their last name... and thought it was so silly the moms went along to help their kids... or why none of the 4 year olds liked their Junie B books we gave out like candy for bday gifts that year. Duh.
But the first... a librarian showed #1 a picture of a lobster when she was 16-18 months old and said "crab" and my dd kept shaking her head and saying crustacean (like, lady I don't know what that is but it isn't a crab). I tried not to laugh and pretended like I had no idea what my crazy kid was talking about.
