I simply question that timeline that you're setting in your mind. My daughter was able to understand well before many psychological resources said she should have been able to and I attribute that to her parents determination to make sure that she was given honest and up front information from the very beginning. For example, she has a picture next to her bed of her Mom and me, while pregnant with the Munchkin. I've always been a part of her reality which is why I think she has such a good understanding of who is who and what is what in relation to herself.
