I've betrayed you all

[kizudo]

So, at Baby and Me library class today we were to introduce ourselves and say how we involve literacy in our baby's day. 

I said "books."  BOOKS!?!?

When it came to my turn, all I could say was "Books"..."we read books to him".

I'm sorry.  I caved and took the easy way out...AND, to top it off, just before class I signed out GD's "How to Multiply your Baby's Intelligence"!!!!!  It was in my bag right beside me! 

Oh the shame...  Please forgive me.

I probably would have done the same. Who wants to go into a whole explanation there in the small time frame of introducing yourself.

Consider yourself forgiven

[trulypearl]

Haha... I would have done the same.  I don't tell people what I do with my son.  I don't want anyone to judge us.  So, let it be.  You read books!

Karma to you anyway!

I only explain if I am ready for an hour conversation afterwards   My kids are so different already that they stand out enough without showing off. When you get to know the group better you might try to enlighten them too.

what can you do?! not everyone is receptive to this.
i use to tell people that my son can read and feel like a real idiot afterwards.
most of the time i get an "okay!"
i want to scream
"its not okay its amaazingg!!"

oh well.

i still make myself look silly as i want every child to beable to read and do maths and whatever else there is.

Good Answer!  Mind if I borrow it next time someone asks me? 

I dont' feel betrayed at all, I feel understood.  Thanks for posting.

And if it makes you feel better, my local librian totally *judged* me when I took out Glen Doman's "Teach your Baby Math".  I can't remember her exact words, but they went something to the tune of "...why don't you just let her learn to count like everyone else does.... let her pick the # of candies to which she can count out..."   Even my local librian thinks I am crazy for teaching my dd at such a young age.

i want to do the same thing now!the people i have encountered always gave me a silly look after knowing that i am doing a program for my son!
so dont worry i think its instinct!
