You are doing great!
I have to say, when I had my first daughter, she knew everything by 2 years old. Counting, abc song, shapes, animal sounds. Now after the fourth child, I tease and say they will have to get their smarts from pre-school. I feel awlful saying that, but with them so close and with so much homework with the older two and running to swim lessons and all the other nightly routine stuff, I really seem to run out of time to sit with the smaller two to read a ton of stories and teach them all the stuff I taught the first two. Sounds terrible, I know. But they do learn in pre-school and are doing just fine. I suppose I worry about my lacking in teaching them than they worry about it. Hehe!!
As far as the toilet training, especially with a boy. Well, lets just say, my 3 girls were potty trained by age 2 or shortly after. Then there is Willy, he didn't get potty trained til a little over 3 yrs. I didn't push as hard, but he really wasn't interested and I had two other friends with boys that had a very stressful time pushing their boys to be potty trained. I took the easy way out and just introduced him and asked him, but let him do it on his time and so less stress, more diapers, but happy potty trained kiddo. Not to tell you what to do, because had a whole year extra of diapers compared to the girls. hehe!! Probably didn't help that he is my last baby and wasn't in a rush to have him grown up yet. Can you blame me??? Hehe!!
Okay, let you go, I tend to talk a lot.
Take care,
Kristy
