For Fingy's peace of mind (hopefully)

Stacey (18) learned to tie her shoelaces at 4, could tell the time at 5, but couldn't ride a 2 wheeler bike until she was almost 7.
Stephanie (16) didn't learn to tie her shoelaces until she was almost 8, learned to tell the time about 6, but was doing stunts on her 2 wheeler at the age of 4.
After this I stopped comparing, figuring they'd learn it when they wanted/needed to.

Stephanie was referred to a speech therapist as she only grunted, wouldn't talk at all, the referral didn't happen as we realised Stacey was speaking for her, Stephanie would point at something and Stacey would tell us what she wanted so she didn't have to bother learning how to talk properly. Once we stopped Stacey from doing this Stephanie learned very quickly to ask for what she wanted.
