Bragging Rights & More...LOL

Im soo proud of my little baby (or should I say toddler) girl! We had our PAT (parents as teachers) meeting monday, and they told us she talked at a 2.5 y.o level-shes 21 months!! I kinda already thought she did, its just nice to have it confirmed ya know? She didnt talk til she was 15 months and we were so worried she'd never talk! But when she did, she started using 2-3 word phrases! YAY! 

When Alexis does something mean or inappropriate, I have her say "sorry mama" or "sorry (whoevers name she was mean to)". She does it automatically now and I LOVE it! Now I just say "Say youre sorry." And she goes "Sorry mama", its so cute. The same with everything else. If I tell her something, she responds with, "OK mama". Its soo funny and cute!

I watch a 2.5 y.o boy during the day (tues-sat, 9A-7P), and he cant talk AT ALL! Its all gibberish like a baby, and its kinda sad. His mom is a single mom and she babies him. She never makes him talk, she just lets him point to what he wants and gives it to him. I feel bad for him b/c hes so behind. I know he'll be fine it the long run, I guess its more annoying. He cant talk and when I try to make him (like if he wants something, I MAKE him say it before I get it for him), he just whines for like 5 mins before he says it. Oh man! The whinning is UN-bearable! I dont know if its a stage they hit at 2 or if its b/c his mom babies him, but lordy lordy its annoying. =)  OH, he calls EVERYone "mom" and "dad". Its soo weird when have someone elses kid call you mom. But his mom thinks its fine b/c hes not old enough to understand that every girls not "mom" and every mans not "dad"...??? YES HE IS!!! YOU just have to work on it!! People amaze me at how theyre too lazy too parent or teach their kids...

Anyways...YAY for Alexis!!

Aww that's great for your baby! Yay!

If I can't understand my 2 year old I do have her point it out but then I'll say what she's pointing. Every parent is different on how they raise their child. It could be many reason why the child isn't speaking clear. Not whole much on the parent being lazy. It possible. But with you watching him you can help him more than his mom can. By doing the same with him as you do with your daugther. I think this is a great way of doing good for somebody else. Kinda like pay it forward type thing... Be blessed that you are watching this child. There's a reason for everything. This is a mothers journal on what goes on in your life and childs. Let the world know how you are praising your child "holier than thou" or not go for it!

Thanks for all the positive comments! Im soo proud of her. When I cant understand her, I have her point to stuff too. I REALLY need to work on shapes tho, she is behind on that.

Well I think it is great.  I brag about my daughter too and I'm not too proud to say I do!  I'm proud of her.  I think when your child does something new or well or exceptional you should be able show your mama pride. 

And aurorabunny I think you are missing Lexismom716's point.  I think that she was saying (whether it was or wasn't public) that if you didn't like what she said, don't continue to come back to it.  When I read one that I don't agree with or don't like then I just go onto the next one.  And besides of that, I thought you were speaking your last breathe on it.  Why waste your energy to come back and try to fight with Lexismom716 on her page?  I'm thinking that you two probably aren't going to be friends so maybe you both should take the adult stance and just part ways and never read each other's posts again.

Thank you BRANDY!

I didnt know it went to CM journal page, now I do, but I still dont understand why shes coming back...again, and again...to MY journal post to start drama. I ALSO thot she wouldnt "waste" her breath. Apparently Im worth her time...YAY for me!! But Im serioulsy close to reporting her if she doesnt grow up and let it go...
