Another Cold
Jonathan has another cold and his nose is running and he is sad. Please pray for health and happiness. When we read the story about Miss Spider's Tea Party (she invites the bugs but they all run away so she is sad - then when she is kind to a stray moth, all the other bugs join her party)... (More)

Appreciating Fine Art
I have not been too interested in paintings or going to art museums (except I did always like to see the Tiffany glass work.) I will admit that I had my doubts about whether Jonathan would like the Van Gogh bits, simply because I had no appreciation for them myself. But I determined to show them... (More)

States
Jonathan and I have finished the state outlines and are now learning the placement of the states within the US map. The bits comprise an outline map with the state in question filled in with red. Some of the New England states are hard to see. I wondered if Jonathan would follow, but now I... (More)

Van Gogh's Ear
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)

One Year Older, One Waist Size Bigger
Heather and I went shopping for jeans yesterday; Heather to try to find jeans that don't have the new low-cut waist line, and me to replace some worn out pairs that have spontaneously ripped when doing various projects around the house. I have always had trouble finding jeans that fit,... (More)

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)

A Glimpse Into the Inner Workings of the City of Pittsburgh
Jonathan loves to watch the garbage truck come down the street and pick up the trash. This morning, we spent 25 minutes standing at the window, watching the world, waiting for the truck, watching the truck, and learning new things. Every once in a while, I would notice that a smaller truck,... (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)

Barking, Shoveling, Singing
Jonathan likes to bark when he hears a dog barking. The other day when I was shoveling, he did a great job with his own little shovel, and we managed to stay out the whole time it took me to do the job. Last Friday, after grocery shopping, Jonathan carried a bag across the kitchen. When I... (More)

Seat Assignments
We are on our way to Vermont to spend a weekend with my family, and I printed out our boarding passes earlier today, and the web page asked me if I wanted to change my seat assignment. There were two choices that looked better, though one pair of seats was all the way in the front, which... (More)
