ok nhockaday, thanks for sharing.

next year I will hide plastic eggs with chocolate inside for my girl to find. I could not do this year.

Trying to keep Doman's suggestion of walking every day in mind, I try to walk in town from my house to the store or post office at least a few times a week.  I do have access to one walking path, but I have to drive there and find I only get out there once a week.  The process of crossing the street with a distracted toddler is difficult, my luckily I live in a small town without a lot of traffic.

unfortunately, we can not do that, I live in the middle of nowhere, the market closest to my house and 15 minutes by car. Then, I leave my daughter free in our backyard. Then, every opportunity I have to go with her, is gold. She can not see her dad get the car key that already extends his arms to go along.

Oops, congratularion for the baby

Forgive my ignorance, but is Tulsa in Oklahoma?
Welcome. I also recomend you to joy the BrillKids forum.

Thanks for the idea, I've never made a book with my daughter before, but this in my plan for next year.

I agree with articulo, we never know what comes of those little bright minds.

I realize that you devote much time educating your child. I know that's not my problem, but how much time you devoted to educate him? say, between making material, teach it, etc.. and also like to know if are you work in education area?

I agree with the articulate.
We never know what brilliant idea can get out of these small little heads.

Hi zixu,

Thanks for comments!
how old is your kid?
what type of story you create if you can share story and picturae. I can also follow similar guideline to teach my lil once! 

Thanks

Congratularions!! We know how you fell. Today I test my girls and che was reading 34 words, I teach 10 words for week, I put the words on my wall around the house. for my boy I teach 5 for week, But i'm not really consistent. I hope do better starting this week.

when it comes to reading, if i introduce a new word then i would spell her the word repeatedly so that she can understand and read. then she would get learn the words.

once she know reading those words to check whether she really knows the words i make small story using those words and then ask her to read. she really go good at this and enjoy a lot. then we draw a picture for the story and and give her for coloring. we spend good time while teaching. she can read many of the words now

How old is your baby? congratulations!!!!

Welcome! Talk to your childs doctor. He or she will be best able to tell you if you have any reason to be considered. Most kids talk when they are ready. Some like my son needed some early intervention. Every child is different

I know this is not about the discution, sorry...
I saw your blog, you are a super mom ... congratulations ...

if you're not sure if your child is behind, talk to your doctor and make an appointment with Early Intervention. My daughter did and that was when I discovered she had a more advanced understanding of the media in her age. But she was with language late. They also explain what you have to do to help your child. In her case, as posted on another topic, she had problems with ear infection for 1 year, and because we speak in 3 languages in my house.

I Want to know that too I was going to post right now the same question...
Please, some help
