"Don't compare your children" is what many wise parents advise. As a second child myself, I didn't like being compared to my brother. In fact I hated it! But I couldn't help but write this because it is a very big deal in our household.
Before Lauren celebrated her 2nd birthday, she knew her alphabet front and back - upper case and lower case. She loved to memorize books like Chica Chica Boom Boom and pretend to read at that tender age.
Naturally, with Elizabeth, we expected the same thing. By the time Elizabeth celebrated her 2nd birthday, she knew maybe three letters. E, L and O. When we tried to teach her, she would make funny faces, silly noises or simply state, "I don't want to learn." Lo and behold! After six months of Nursery and due to the patient and diligent work of E's nursery school teachers Ms. Lori and Mrs. Carioscia, Elizabeth now knows all 26 letters of the alphabet! Upper case only. ;-) She is so proud of herself and of course we are all so proud of her!
