Identifying Bits
Jonathan likes to open the drawer where I store the Bits and take out some to look at. In order to make this an acceptable activity, I have put the retired ones in front and hidden the unseen ones in back, separated by empty file folders. This way, he is free to explore and look at, take out... (More)

Email Random Signature Generation
I wrote a random signature generator for Pine, my email client. It worked great for a number of years, but with a recent upgrade of Pine, it started having trouble a couple of times a day, where the signature would be correctly rotated, but Pine would hang prior to sending the message, and would...

Zoo and Other Adventures
On April 27, we went to the Zoo with Alissa, Will, Nate, and Sam. I sang to Jonathan the "We're going to the zoo" song and he repeated, "zoo, zoo, zoo!" He also repeated "cheetah" but he growled at the bears on his own. The elephants were much larger in real life than he expected and he didn't... (More)

Daddy
On Saturday while we were hanging around on CMU campus for Carnival, Jonathan signed "Daddy." We were at the top of the hill by the tennis courts, talking to a friend, and our kids were playing down at the bottom of the hill. I saw Jonathan signing for Daddy, and he was thrilled to answer the... (More)

Jonathan continues to love the butterflies. We're almost finished with Van Gogh. We started some mammals, which he likes, too. He likes geography as long as I don't spend too much time on it. We finished with states a while back, did continents, and are now working on countries in Africa. We... (More)

One, Two...
In situations where it's fun to count down (jumping, etc.) Jonathan will now say, "one... two..." He doesn't seem to want to say three, but the first two are very clear. We were playing outside today, on our furniture cart, riding it down the very gentle incline of our "yard." When I pushed off,... (More)

Big Helper
This morning Jonathan and I went down to the basement. I opened the dryer door for him and told him he could take the clothes out and put them in the laundry basket if he wanted to. While I rinsed out a dirty diaper, he did just what I said! He unloaded the whole thing all by himself (including... (More)

Thumbsucking
Jonathan was a thumbsucker since before he was born. We did nothing to discourage it, except that I would often offer to nurse. Somewhere around 12 or 13 months, I mentioned to Jon that he wasn't sucking his thumb any more. After that, I did notice him doing it in his sleep sometimes. Now, he... (More)

As indicated previously, one of Jonathan's bit cards is Van Gogh's painting "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear." The last two times I've showed it to him, he has pointed to his ear (and maybe even said something like "ear.') (More)
