When do you guys start this stuff? My kids are 15/16 months old. I'm not doing anything organized. We look at books. They don't sit long enough for a whole story, but we look at pictures and talk about them. They can point to objects when asked, they are terrific at showing me how cows moo and dogs bark, etc. They can bring me some things when asked (the yellow pretty baby block, the ball, etc).

I really hadn't planned to do anything organized for at least 6 more months. Is that wrong? I never promised anything remotely related to a curriculum. We play, and I watch for teachable moments. But, since coming here, I'm realizing that I'm out of date and maybe parents expect 2 year olds that know the alphabet?
