Possible little difficult child in the making or is it just normal 4 year old behavior?

[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 386295, member: 1514"] I talked to her today and cant figure out what the nap time issue is. Claims she just doesnt want to nap. She hasnt taken a nap unless sick since she was 2 either. I just explained to her that she didnt have to sleep, she just had to rest and stay on her mat until the teacher told her to get up...we shall see...lol. I did find out she is fascinated with the alphabet toy I bought her and has been playing with it constantly since I gave it to her Saturday evening. It shows the letter, says the letter, says how the letter is pronounced and then shows the kid how to draw the letter and they can follow along on the electronic pad with an attached pen and follow the lights to make the letter and it tells them they do it right. Bells and whistles of course. As we went to dance today she saw a building that had a K in the name and she said...LOOK Grandma...that store has a K in it just like my name does! She has recognized her name for over a year but couldnt write it or anything. She sang it to a song I made up for her. I thought she was doing good to do that...lol. Here in Pre-K they have a ton of things they have to learn. They have to learn all their letters upper case and lower case. All letter sounds. Numbers to 100. Full name. (She has that one down) If she has to learn her address she is screwed...lol. Which one? Same with phone number...uhhhhh again...which one? Poor child has 3 addresses and about 5 phone numbers. Has to know all colors, shapes ( I dont know which ones though), how to put on clothes and take them off. She can do most of that. She cant tie shoes but we are working on that. I think any girl who can put on a dance outfit and then go pee and redress should make it for putting on clothes...lmao. Tights are a pain. By the end of the year she should know at least 20 sight words. Kindergartners have to know like 100 sight words! I am astounded. [/QUOTE]
