Color in the lines? Scissors? :waitasec: A two year old typically hasn't developed the fine motor skills to do those things independently. Same with getting into dress up outfits or any outfit...they usually need help. Coloring books and crayons are good because they can encourage the...

I don't think anyone has ever doubted that. Likewise, "boatloads" of compassion for precious little Caylee is a given for those who do have compassion for the A's. Jest sayin', it goes both ways. The suggestion (and I've seen it here many times) that because someone feels empathy for...

I agree that the younger they are, less is more. I gotta say though, as a mom with 2 teens... sixteen 16 year olds? :eek: Holy moly!! :nerves::crazy::wink:

Sounds like your granddaughter is very bright!:) I have to say though that I am not totally for children less than 3 years old attending preschool. I don't say I'm against either...I just don't advocate it over having them in a home setting with parents or other loving caregivers. (btw...

I disagree. Most of us have seen photos and videos of Caylee drawing, coloring, dancing, playing her sandbox, her playhouse, playing dress up, the list goes on. These activities were very much a part of Caylee's short life, and that is a good thing.

I remember Kristina C. saying she and Casey would get together and take Caylee and her little son to the park on occasion. Which imo, is typical and appropriate for toddlers as far as playmates are concerned. Playmates and forming friendships become much more important and meaningful to...

Well put, I agree.

I understand what you mean, but why would Cindy rip out a few pages only to leave a seemingly incriminating one(s)? If she was truly trying to hide something, why not throw out or burn the whole diary?:waitasec: Same thing with the toothbrush...why "hide" a freakin toothbrush in the garage...

I'll agree with that. :yes:

I think she is feeling very, very alone. Utterly alone with her thoughts, and they aren't too pretty. I think she feels intensely isolated. She feels everyone has misconstrued everything in this case and it's extremely unfair. Everything has been taken from her. She misses beer, chili...

True, but what's that got to do with flip flops? :confused:

I'm sure they collected every pair of her shoes that they could find; she just happens to have a large collection of flip flops. They even took several pairs of dressy heels. Imo, highly unlikely Casey wore heels into the woods, but as they say, leave no stone unturned! Not only can they...

I thought Cindy said she had a short term disability policy through her employer. Not sure if that is still in effect. I also read some time ago that Lee had moved home to help out with expenses..

My parents were not perfect while raising me; in fact they they set pretty bad examples at times. From a very young age I knew they had issues...but I had no choice but to deal with the confusion and hypocrisy. It wasn't until I was grown that I realized some of their examples taught me how...

I think (and hope) you're on to something there, magic. :blowkiss:

That's YOUR perception. My perception is different. I don't say Cindy did everything right, but it wasn't sinister. I can have empathy for someone in just about any horrific situation, even if they are illogical and they cannot clearly see what is best. And I won't apologize for it.

Thanks for posting these! :blowkiss: The red ink on the crease I was referring to is visible in the middle photo. I wanted to post it but didn't know how!

I agree not usually, but in this case, the word "June" is written kitty-corner at the top left of the journal...and the "J" is actually started quite close to the crease. With that in mind, it makes sense to me that she may very well have written in this kitty-corner style on previous (torn...

OT just for a sec- I think of my spouse and children collectively as my "nuclear" family. Our (mine and dh's) parents, and our siblings are immediate family. Aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family. But that's just me :)
