I apologise in advance as this may be a longish post but I have a couple of points to make and thought I'd throw them in one post instead of making multiple different posts at once

1) Anyway, DD is 3.5 (I can't leave off the half as she'd throw a hissy fit if she knew I did lol) and I'm curious about where she "should" be developmentally. She sings her abc's counts to 14 before missing 15 and skipping ahead to 16 and so on up to 20, knows almost all of her colours (gets gold and silver mixed up), knows almost all of her shapes, talks impeccably (better than my DS (6) was at her age), has a damn good memory, can spell her nick name (shortened name) but can't write it, is drawing people, houses, rainbows etc. I could go on but to save you I'll leave it at that lol. Anyway, what I'm asking here is basically is there anything that she MUST be doing by now? She seems quite intelligent and I am often complimented on how much she knows.

2) She won't stay out of my bed!!!! Every morning between 2 and 3 am she wakes and wants to be in my bed with me. We co-slept until she was 18 months when she decided by herself that she wanted a "big girl bed" like her brother. That lasted until about 8 months ago when she started getting into my bed every night/morning. I put her back in her own bed but she screams blue murder. I have asked her why she wants to be in my bed and she told me that she wants "mummy snuggles" but apparently it has to be in my bed "just because" it's becoming quite tiring of a night where I'm up 3 or 4 times between 2 and 6 am to settle her back to sleep and then put her back to bed. We have tried a mattress on the floor but she won't stay there either. Any ideas?

3) Bum wiping and toilet flushing! Just please help lol......

4) she's not due to start prep until 2016 (born 2.7.10 and cut off date in Victoria is they have to be 5 by 30.4 the year they start) but her daycare and I both agree that she'd be ready in 2015. Does anyone know a way of getting her in early, as I don't want her being "over ready" and getting bored?

Ok, I think that's it lol. Sorry again for such a long post.
