[QUOTE="rimpley, post: 470933"] I had a whole reply written and then my laptop froze...DOH! buddy - I like the idea of the pictures. We tried something with music (this song is the getting dressed song, this one is for brushing teeth) to help her understand the concept of time, but she figured out that she could put the songs on pause or repeat. Bit too smart sometimes. I'm thinking ahead to figure out if she could manipulate this one. She's very social, but sensitive. Her feelings can be hurt at the drop of a hat. I worry because she's always been bigger and taller (almost 10 lbs at birth) and I know the day is coming that someone says something unkind.
