My ds is 16 months old and at daycare when I work 3 days a work. He is my youngest and my baby so perhaps that is coloring my thinking. A couple of things have been annoying me, firstly I get little reports about him for example "ds is showing an interest in balls practice playing balls at home to develop this". Don't get me wrong if he feels like playing with balls at any particular time we will, but I'm led completely by him. Another example "ds is beginning to say some words eg ball, mummy, cup, now he needs to work on expanding his vocabulary." I mean really he'll say more when he's ready surely? It's a a natural process?
Also he was "rated" level 3 and 4 for language and emotional development. I don't even know or want to know what this means. Aibu to believe he will develop in his own way and in his own time? Fwiw he seems to be hitting all his milestones but I really don't get to excited by it all.
