Hot and Cold
Jonathan love to say "hot" and he often says hot when he means cold - ie snow, ice cubes. This morning while we were looking out the window, he said, "hot" again for the snow and the cold window. I showed him the sign for cold and repeated the sign for hot and explained to him that they were... (More)

Reality TV
I don't know a whole lot about the whole reality TV show craze, (I actually haven't seen a single one) but since this is a blog, I feel liberated to spout my views on the subject. There is an article in the Pittsburgh paper a couple of days ago regarding a former Pittsburgh priest, who has... (More)

Bits
Jonathan has been very happy with his bits recently, asking for them a lot. He is never bored with the picture bits, but I have had to scale down on the math and reading cards. However, the other day I discovered a way to show the math dots that keeps him riveted. I say the number several... (More)

16th Tooth and More
That bottom right canine finally showed itself. Jonathan has had a cold for the past several days, which makes sleeping tough and also diapers. Stuffy/runny nose and diarrhea are no fun for baby or parents. After washing all the diaper covers every day for the past several days, I have decided... (More)

Uh-Oh
When I hear Jonathan say "uh-oh" I need to pay attention. Usually it just means he dropped something on the floor on purpose. But sometimes it's something I need to attend to. Yesterday Jonathan was playing on the counter by the sink and he said "uh-oh" but I did not see anything amiss.... (More)

Monday is Vacuum Day
Jonathan has been asking to vacuum the house all week, but I told him we had to wait until Monday. Today he was so excited when I was vacuuming that he was bouncing and grinning and saying, "vacuum" over and over again. He also got a new set of reading words today and "vacuum" was one. He loved...

More New Words
Jonathan now says "hot" at the oven, my tea, and the furnace vent (when the air turns on.) He has started signing "please." Daddy saw that one first. He also says "all right" especially when he successfully buckles the stroller or high chair buckle. (More)

New Words Every Day
Jonathan said, "book" today when he went to his bookshelf. He read one of his numbers books for quite a long time. He can now say, "bye-bye" also. The occasions when he does it are when the toilet is flushing and when his turtle turns off. He may also say "umbrella" but it is not yet refined. (More)

Bright Starts Chase 'n' Play Turtle
Jonathan got this toy for Christmas. He and the other kids who come over like it a lot. This review will have positives, negatives, and funnies. As a toy, it's fun for kids; as an educational toy, it's not really any good. The box claims all sorts of things, but here are my complaints: The... (More)

Signing!
Yesterday, Jonathan signed "more" very clearly and correctly. I rewarded him by fulfilling his request - more dried cranberries from my granola. Then in the evening while we were waiting for a bus, he signed "toilet" - not as perfectly, but obviously enough. Unfortunately, there was no place to... (More)

Growing Up Fast
Today was full of Jonathan doing amazing things, but I'll start with Sunday, on which he walked to the store and back, only being carried across a street once when the traffic was too busy - the other streets he crossed himself, holding on to Daddy's hand. Today, when I asked him to give me the... (More)

Christmas Adventures Part 2
The night we arrived (Monday) was "Christmas Eve" so we each opened our one present from "Mr. Ho" and filled the stockings for the morning. It turns out that Santa had also visted Bermuda, because we each received a souvenir ornament from Bermuda. "Christmas" morning was leisurely, as Mom had to... (More)

You Couldn't Say He Wouldn't Hurt a Fly
Jonathan and I were up on the third floor when the trash truck came by, and he likes to watch, so I brought him to the window. The third floor attracts and kills flies (not sure why) so it was no surprise to see a fly buzzing around the window.It was obviously sick because Jonathan was able to... (More)
