Hi,

I'm not, I'm just wondering how she knew her daughter was pointing to the 
right word since she couldn't see it herself.  I'm just entering that stage 
with my son, and wondered how she did it.  And well we're on the subject, 
why the rudeness below?  I know you're writing on a blackberry, but a hi or 
a thanks isn't too much to ask.  And next time you assume I'm just doubting 
somebody, perhaps you might ask first if that's what I'm doing.  You might 
get a better response if you do.

Tammy
