Marking my spot, we're exactly where you are right now. Maren is so smart but when I try to 'teach' her something she seems to balk at it, it's like she feels performance anxiety or something. So I don't do that, we play matching games, memory games, read a ton of books, do crafts, and talk, talk, talk about everything. But I worry too, that I should be doing more to encourage her to learn.
