Oddly I’m feeling much less stressed and much happier today. We draw within 72 hours of the big move and I’m feeling ok at the moment. Maybe because we managed to pack 99% of Emma’s room up. That only leaves the essentials in the kitchen along with the food, the laundry room with the cleaners, the essentials in the bathroom and then the rest of our closet. Oh, and my computer stuff and the TV stuff. Most of that we probably can’t do until late tomorrow or Thursday anyway so I feel like we are ok on time.
I talked to S who is the mother of H I’ve talked about before. H is two weeks older than Emma and she told me today that H can count to 10 and put it to practice AND she can spell her name. What?! Seems like awfully smart to me. Emma can’t even SAY the word Three much less put it in sequential order or actually count anything. I know I shouldn’t compare but geez. We are planning to get together tomorrow for a last play time. I need to return one of her cookbooks anyway. I will miss S&H. She does visit up to Charlotte sometimes so hopefully she’ll be able to stop in and see us and hopefully we’ll make it down to the zoo down here again and can meet them there.
Wow! That’s totally smart! Neither of my girls knew more than 5 or 10 words by the time they were 18 months old (Emma’s about 18 months, right?). They didn’t learn to count to 10 until they were well past two and a half, and both girls were at least three and a half before they learned to spell their own names. And I thought they were doing so well… LOL. Doesn’t matter how early they learn those things though, because when they get to kindergarten it all evens out. I think Emma’s doin’ just fine, and she’s a total cutie too.
The cynic in me says don’t believe the kiddie hype until you witness it for yourself tomorrow. *lol*
Hope your move goes smoothly, Amy!
