Pocket Notes

10/23 - Jon said, "Ask Jonathan an addition problem with two digit numbers that sum to a multiple of ten." I asked him 53+17, and Jonathan figured out loud, "the seventeen goes to twenty, the fifty three goes to fifty...seventy!" I signed Jonathan up for the... (More)

I Love Word Problems

I was searching for Noah's first word on our blog (I found his first signed word: please, but I couldn't find his first spoken word) because Faith has started talking a little, and I don't know exactly what her first word is, probably "hi". But, today, she has repeatedly said,... (More)

Notes From The Pocket

8/7 - Faith started using the more sign consistently and spontaneously. She will now also use it to mean "I want that." 8/11 - Faith took her first step. It was sort of accidental, since she was walking holding to my hand, and I slipped my finger out. After... (More)

A Rich Family

Heather remarked at dinner tonight (at the Olive Garden - thanks Wightmans, we've got 7 more dinners at this rate to celebrate our anniversary) that we are a rich family: we now own two cars and two houses. I did realize that some people spend more on their cars than we spent on our... (More)

Reading, Counting, Pulling Up

5/4 - Jonathan read Hop On Pop to us. It took two sessions because it is a pretty long book. It was fun for me because I know that was one of the first books I read out loud to my parents. 5/8 - Kids only know what they're exposed to. When Noah saw the TV in our... (More)

A Post About Noah

4/23 and following - Noah sings a little song, waving his arms around and concludes with, "Amen." He then says, "Me get mine Bible." He has loved reading the Bible even from such a young age as I was not sure if he could distinguish it from other books, except... (More)

Another Word Problem

If you start a pot boiling at 9:55PM (knowing that you will be up for a while) to hard boil eggs for the following day and don't set a timer, how long will it take before you go back to the kitchen to turn off the stove? Your answer should be written in terms of: E: Number of... (More)
