So what if he doesn’t have 10 words by age 5?  He’ll figure it out and I’ll be able to find my ketchup.

But at home, where it’s in a mother’s interest to keep a nanny happy, Type A doesn’t go over well.  So I leave the daily log up to her discretion, and assume she’ll figure out what works for me and her. The result? A somewhat-neatly written, time-oriented manifesto of babedom in a spiral-bound notebook.
