Oh, and I almost forgot, I am beginning to believe that dd can read rather more than she lets on. We were in the toilets today and she was heading for the door, stopped and came back and said “I’ve got to wash my hands, the sign says so”. Sure enough there was a sign on the back of the door, with a picture and the words “Now wash your hands” so I asked where it said it, thinking maybe she’d just looked at the picture, and she pointed to the words. I don’t quite understand why she makes such a fuss about not reading – we are wondering whether she is afraid that we won’t read to her if she can read for herself.
