Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Alyssa (soon to be 5) is the same way. We have a bunch of videos for her, Barney, Wiggles, Annie, Snow White, Poppins, Blues Clues, Arthur, Comfy Couch, and more. She has a cabinet and a rack to hold them all. You ask her if she wants to watch a video and she carefully ponders over them all, will pull one out and knows exactly which one she's chosen. Sometimes I'll pick one out for her and she'll tell me no, not Barney Circus, Barney Camping. It's funny how she's knows them all.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2001 Report Share Posted December 18, 2001 I think as a parent our lives rotate around our kids-we just need to pay more attention than most. That probably comes across as revolving our lives around them. I think we make much better parents I have ot say that as I have only one child- I have been blessed with a ds kid first .....

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Sue..hi...well you helped me understand something..I wasn't clear..the person who made the comment about Meghan only mimicking others i.e. not capable of independent thought was NOT the same person that she conned the toy out of!!! I am sorry that Tim has to feel disappointment in not seeing his dad..it's hard isn't it to explain when even the beat explanation won't take away the disappointment...
