Peer pressure. It starts so early these days. Sigh.
If it weren't for peer pressure nobody would be potty trained.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I don't think I walked until well after the 1 year mark (probably just as well considering how clumsy I am at it now). But apparently I started speaking at 6 months and was stringing crude sentences together at 12.

And I should probably go back to ignoring the books.
Not a parent, but this seems to make sense. There's not much point to it, as far as I can tell, other than making moms feel inadequate. I mean, doctors and stuff would let one know if there are developmental issues, right?
I don't know what I'm talking about though.

Or sibling rivalry. I supposedly was walking at 9 months and potty trained around my first birthday because I wanted to keep up with my brother who is 15 months older than me.

I dunno. I think eventually, sitting around with a load of your own poop in your pants has got to get old.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Better'n sitting around in someone else's poop.
Sorry.
No, I'm not.

Now I'm wondering how much Annabel's development is affected by the fact she's almost never around other children--an hour or two in the nursery on Sunday, and occasional brief visits with our neighbor whose little girl is exactly 18 months older, and that's it.

I didn't spend much time with other kids until I started school, and I think my development was fine.
Though you may want to take me as a cautionary tale.
