folding laundry? thats insane! Crayons didn't even come to mind until everyone in hte AHM group tried it. I bought the big crayons and we do a structured color time but it's usually US coloring and her eating the crayons or taking them from us and passing them back and forth. lol
I don't do the parenting books for that reason...too many different ideas influencing me, I would get all upset.

Hey Peep!

First of all, you have twins!! Multiples are "usually" born a bit early, so you have the adjusted age thing and they are a bit behind developmentally, so you cannot compare them to singleton growth milestones, so don't because it will seem like they are behind, but they are not! My two were late walkers, talkers and yes, scribblers..lol..heck, they will still try to eat a crayon at age 3, if they get bored or hungry enough and don't forget taking the label off the crayons. That is fun stuff for toddlers. Why color when you can eat, break, or peel off the label of the crayon to make a big mess for mommy? Anyway, I think my two are doing fine now, probably ahead of the game, so I worried for nothing. And folding laundry and scribbling at age 12 months? That seems ridiculous, although maybe there are a few babies out there that could do that, but none I know of. And doing that regularly? I seriously doubt it! So you cannot pay too much attention to those books. And I think it was Einstein who did not talk until he was 5, and he did not turn out so bad, did he? And kids with older siblings, I think, develop faster because they have an older role model, my two had no role models and yours don't either, so they will just develop at their own rate and catch up later on. Anyway, please try not to worry about these things! If you start worrying again, come here and I will give you a big forehead smack.....hee hee

Duh! I guess I should read the dates before commenting in a blog! LOL! I did not realize your kids are so old now..but still, don't worry!... LOL blushing profusely!
