Ceydas Development

I found this on a pre school website. Developmental guidelines for age 24-36 months, its nice to have something as a guideline. I am generally pretty good at not comparing her to other children  i think am fairly relaxed and confident that the time i spend with her and the things we do together allow her to develop what may be natural talents and preferences.  There was a short period where i worried about her speech, but as it turns out i had nothing to worry about. Nowadays she is a complete chatter box ( no suprise there considering her mother is too ).. her new thing is shouting..I am going with the "lets use our quiet voice" but of course she thinks this is hilarious.. She also put my husbands brother into time out today  (he had just raised his voice to his wife..i guess she felt the tone of his voice) "Cem Out Time now" pointing to the door. oh the joys !! Actually she was right so well done Ceyda !!  Cognitive
