Soren Speaks

I sent Soren to my neighbors house to return a game he had borrowed.  He was gone for about 5 minutes, then dutifully return home.  When he opened the door he said:

SOREN: I have a message for you.

ME: Oh, thank you.  What is it?

SOREN: I sent it to you with my mind.

ME:  Well, I didn't get it.  Will you please tell me out loud?

SOREN:  I think this language is better: sign language.

ME: But I don't speak your sign language.  Will you please tell me in English?

SOREN: I will tell you in English and sign language.

ME:  Ok.

SOREN: (pausing between each word to make up a sign) I ... have ... a ... message ... to ... How do you make a t-o in sign language?

ME: (showing him the signs in ASL) This is a "t" and this is an "o".

SOREN: ... to ... give ... you. ... Sister ... Cowart ... says .... (making air quotes) "hi."

Our Potty Training Journey

February 2010 GOAL:  My initial goal was to introduce Soren to the toilet and make it a fun place to sit.  I have to admit that I also hoped that we would have some fortunate "accidents" that would lead to potty training success. STRATEGY:  My plan was to sit Soren on the toilet once a day and read him a couple of stories.  If he peed, I was planning to give him a candy. THE BAD NEWS:  The candy totally backfired.  The one time that he peed on the toilet, I gave him a candy and he had a full-on tantrum begging for more.  If I ever told him "When you pee on the potty, you can have a candy", he would begin screaming for the treat and be unable to focus on the toilet training. THE GOOD NEWS:  Soren was not afraid of sitting on the big toilet.  He actually really enjoyed it (when I was reading stories and not pimping rewards) and started asking to sit there any time his butt was bare.

February 10 - 16

* I thoroughly enjoyed reading Skyward. * Soren beat Megaman 1 without dying. * Carl was swamped with art homework.  His teacher assigned him 5 mini-paintings, 30 gradients, and 1 shading. * Sven finished reading the Frog and Toad  treasury. * Leif talked a lot about wanting to make a friend. * Richard got to listen to lots and lots of read-a-louds.
