Hello Kaitlin. 

Thank you so much for reaching out. Every child&#039;s development is so different! It sounds like your little one is ready to move on. 
As her mom, you know best, trust your instincts, challenging her will encourage and enthrall her to keep growing and developing. 
Have so much fun on this journey!
