[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old and they are achieving all kinds of milestones: first snowman, Christmas lights, the one year old memorizing books and demanding to "read" them, kids dancing to new songs, sometimes singing new songs or making up new ones, all kinds of stuff. 3 year old is trying to write letters now so that's exciting. But I'm probably overwhelming them, especially the in laws with kids of their own[/quote]

You are full on crazy.  It is not a milestone for them to experience Christmas lights.  You are not PROUD of them for experiencing them - unless of course your children INVENTED THEM.  Pride means your children did something impressive for their age or station in life.  Your kids are 1 and 3 and have barely experienced anything in life - almost ALL songs are "new" to them.  So them dancing to a new song is not impressive or something for you to be proud of.  Unless they are Twyla Tharp and choreographing amazing dance moves. I love kids, but I would hate knowing you in real life. [/quote]
