It's so hard not to compare isn't it?

DS is 26months but at that age I was seriously thinking all the same things. I had DD before him who did and said so much at 12months and then he was so different. Children place such a different priority on stuff that's important to us, it's hard not to worry about them, but in the end it usually always rolls around how we think it should.

DS has only started understanding that his name is "Nate" since about 2, he didn't do animal sounds or point out stuff unless it was a truck, motorbike or ball, puzzles, sorting was not his thing at all. Only recently has he started showing interest in same and different let alone what shape can be manipulated into where. He was the silent assassin for ages, and grunting and screaming got him by.
