[blparent] Toddler Toys

[Elizabeth Cooks]

Angelica has one of those.  Lol.  They may mean more to her than you think. 
Try testing her in a few months, and I'll bet she'll start to recognize at 
least a few of them.  Angelica was able to recognize each letter and number 
by the age of two.  one day, she picked up some numbers out of a puzzle she 
got for Christmas and told us what they were.  i thought I was going to cry.
