just keep at it and eventually she'll likely show an interest - some kids just aren't as able to be still, like my friend's youngest son - all her other kids loooove to read bcz she did it from the time they were tiny but her youngest is very physical and has a hard time being still. He is at the top of his class in reading, though.

My son is 15 mos and I picked up some inexpensive educartional books at walmart and target - some fave's are funny bunnies or anything that rhymes and isn't long - also animals and i started reading to him after bath time before bed time and i'd make him 'turn the page' when he was like 5 months old and after he could crawl, he woul d bring a book to me so we could read it - he could turn the pages by himself with help (pages stick together even though board book) by 7.5 mos. and could tell which book to get by 11 mos. by me saying the first line.

He loves books and is very curious about what is in them - we are reading stories now - short, short ones. But bedtime isn't complete without a short book and sometimes 5 or 6. Doesn't matter what you read, as long as you just keep at it - you'll create a reader.

I also take a few minutes each day to read for like 5-10 mins and he now goes and gets his book and pretends to read and then brings it to me so we can read together...

It kind of sounds like your friend may be put off by it and perhaps looking for something to say to have you do what she views as appropriate. My son weaned himself a 6 months and I wish I could have nursed him longer but he was done - he also had 8 teeth and more coming in, so it may be that he just didn't need it anymore. My father-in-law grew up in the country & he was breastfed till age 2 and apparently, that was pretty common. He is very smart - we call him google. His brother was also breastfed till 2, and he is of average intelligence.  I don't know if  all of you had the same experience, but after becoming a parent, it seems everyone wants to impart wisdom on you - like their way is best, sometimes a little intrusively (don't get me started) but I believe that if people can raise kids to shoot poisonous blowdarts at monkeys in the rainforest and Hollywwod celebs raise kids also (good or bad), then there must be as many ways to do this as there are kids and parents, no? Do what is right for you - you and your child are both unique.

seriously - i thought i finished the survey for the 5,000 points, but am not seeing the points shown - am i missing something? please help. thanks

Please extend our license for LR -
It is a fabulous  program also how do i refer a friend?

actaully, i finished the survey and i am not seeing the points - i really would like to be more active but as the mother of a 15 month old and a 5 week old, there's only so much time...
can you please check the survey thing, though? i talked to some friends who are interested in LR and maybe i can score some points that way.... would definitely like the program. If you read this, also send license extension code. thanks...
