The Snail’s Trail made a post recently about how we make ourselves to be perfect on our blogs and yet we really are not. That is part of the reason I am starting to share some of my son’s pictures because he does not care what others think yet and captures more of our real life. I have a really, REALLY hard time posting pictures of me because half the time I don’t brush my hair if I am not leaving the house. Also, I have a really hard time posting pictures of my house. When I see pictures of other peoples house’s they are always perfect. Mine, well lets say it is truly a fixer upper and since having a toddler I find my house is hardly ever picked up except for right before I go to bed. But then when we wake up it is like a bomb goes off and there is stuff everywhere!
The hardest thing for me, since I follow several preschool homeschooling blogs, is that there kid’s always seem smarter or more normal then mine. I know every kid develops differently but sometimes it is hard when you don’t get to see that there are tons of kids out there like yours.
Basically, I just need to vent and then to remind myself sure my son may not talk well and it is causing the typical learning to get behind like shapes, colors, counting and so forth but he can use his mouse on his computer and play Dora all by himself, he knows how to use his camera and take beautiful photos (well I might be biased on the beautiful part
), he can already cut a piece of paper in half, and cook his own eggs (with supervision of course
)
His speech just gets to me sometimes. I have a friend with a son one month younger then wingnutand she will be talking about him and say he said this or that and I seriously go “he says that? A kid Wingnuts age can say that?” Wingnut is just at the two year level in his speech and he will be three in may. He still does not say Mommy and he only has about 50 words max in his vocabulary. When he turns three the pediatrician whats his to go to a speech therapist. Honestly, I can’t wait. The main reason is because I want to know what my son thinks. I always have to guess that he likes something or wants something or that something is wrong.
Oh dear this got long winded and into many subjects so I will just leave it here
