    Beautiful day outside. And I've spent it inside, still in pyjamas (6PM). If it will rain tomorrow, I'll defy the weather and stay out all day...

    My three year old says more with pointing than most people do with actual words. If only she would go to two syllable words at some point.

    Planning a day trip for my husband and I. It's a few weeks off, but I think it will be fun: a trip to the Willamette Mission and Champoeg, where it was decided that Oregon Country would be American, not British (folly or wisdom, I'm unsure), and then a slow drive through the Valley, stopping along the way home to do some wine tasting.

    My cousin didn't have many words until he was three, we all thought he might not be really smart. Turned out there was nothing wrong with him, he was quite precocious growing up, soon to graduate in jurisprudence (I hope that's a correct term).

    My two youngest girls enjoyed a breakfast of icing with a side nibble or two of cinnamon roll.

    she had a rough pregnancy to put it gently and survived two surgeries and the associated strong painkillers my wife had to go through before she was even four months along. She earned the name 'Tuff" long before she was born. Hearing your unborn daughter has a 25% of surviving a needed surgery (normally routine if there is no fetus to watch for) is not good.

    That is tough. Are you saying she will have problems in learning?

    As someone who studies child development, it's really hard to make those predictions at such a young age. It is normal for children to lag a bit in one domain of development. True learning disabilities don't typically make themselves known until early elementary school.

    Now, that my daughter has entered preschool, they are firstly screening those, who have problems with speech and pronouncing all letters, at age of six.

    Pronounce/vocalize/enunciate?

    as snowy said, who can tell? All we have so far is a diagnosis of "Global Developmental Delay" and she trip all kinds of alerts which give her extra attention with health coverage/ all kinds of therapy.
    She is smart as a whip though, just mostly non-verbal.

    @ Speed Gibson: Yes, I know, it's too early to tell. I think it's good as long as she feels being understood. My friend's son had some difficulties around 4-5, he became aggressive, because he couldn't get through to others, what he wanted to say. They found out, he had slight disability in learning, but he got help through early therapy, which is good.
