Smart girl...
I had Alie work on a preschool workbook today and she did surprisingly well. It is made for a 4 year old, but I thought I might see if she could do some of the work sheets. She did so well that we completed half the book! I'm so proud of her!! I really didn't think she would understand half of the stuff. She even knew what was greater and lesser. She started loosing interest when we got to the "compare the first sounds" section. Example: out of Monkey, Tree, Mouse, which two have the same sound? She wasn't quite getting it.

She told me today that she wants to go to school to be with friends, BUT she is not potty trained. We've tried everything in the book, every single method in existence. She is just too laid back and stubborn to want to train. Her best friend trained right after turning 2. Alie could care less. She will go when her friend says she has to go, but she doesn't see this friend nearly enough to get trained. The good news is... I am going to watch said friend for a week or two come next month, so Alie may become trained! I really hope she will follow her friends example and just do it. Al really is a brilliant girl and knows how to go in the potty, she currently just doesn't care enough. Guess it's not in her priorities ;) I'm not really worried about it though, I know kids who didn't train until they were 4! I mean they still wore diapers. They were just WAY too stubborn lol!! It's funny how someone so small can have so much control over mom and dad (that m&d can't really do anything about).
