I was amazed to learn that 2 year olds are referred to as PRESCHOOLERS and no longer as toddlers.
Yey! I'll soon have a preschooler in our home after the 30th...my Benedict, who will always remain "my baby" no matter how old he will grow. After all, I'll always be his mom. ^_^
I am making this chart personalized based on the development and milestone achievement of my little boy. Kinda like a checklist for me too, for the aspects I have not even bothered to check if he is developing right on track. I hope to get to track down my little ones strength and weaknesses too through this chart...
