Modern Guilt & Pet Sounds

I realized the other day that Lily knows 'Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star', and learned about it without me.   I was singing it to her and she began to act out the parts - 'twinkling' her hands and creating a rudimentary diamond at nearly the perfect point.    This could only mean she learned it in daycare, and it makes me feel guilty.

Even if it's an unrealistic and even undesirable expectation, you kind of want to be the only person to teach your kid stuff -- or at least be there when they are taught.

If all goes well, Cindy should have the option to stay home when the next one comes, and that would stop this....but is that a good thing?    Maybe Lily learns more in daycare.  She definitely gets more socialization than any imaginable scenario at home with mom.   I want to teach her everything, but if that were the case, she'd be limited only to what I could teach.

...

Animal sounds Lily knows - that I'm pretty sure we taught her:

Dog - (she pants rather then barks)

Cat - Sounds like 'now' or 'neow'

Cow - Mooo

Owl - this one is particularly cute ('hoo hoo')
