It has been really interesting reading your perspectives. I'm just so freaking tired of hearing litanies of toddler alphabetical and numerical accomplishments. I couldn't say how many might be telling the truth, as I am getting this from so many sides lately. Fortunately, none are interested in comparing by asking what my children can/could do. I'm so turned-off the sharing of anything.
I do love hearing stories of bright and creative things children do. The stories - the different ways of thinking about and looking at the world. These are the things that make more sense -and better yet, are far more interesting and enjoyable.
