Friday, October 28, 2005Vocabulary progressMy son has picked up a couple more words since my last post. He now has “hey” and “uh-oh” in his vocabulary. I believe he has the concept down for “uh-oh”. When something gets drops, he drops his new word. “Hey”, I’m not so sure about. It seems like he uses it as a greeting sometime but then other...

I open the door to get some fresh air, he walks over and pushes it closed. When he goes into his room to play, he closes the door. He's 17 months old and I like to be able to hear just what's going on in there. I...

On a different subject, my son seems to learn something new each day. He drives my wife crazy because she worries so much. He is a climber and subsequently, a faller. He always has some kind of mark on him from his latest parachuteless skydiving...

For about the last 6 months, I have been trying to get my son to say the word, "mama". My wife would love to hear the word from him so I went to work. I'm getting pretty good at saying it. This month, he finally said his first word. I think...

Not really a switch as much as a going back to. She worked in an elementary school last year and was supposed to have the summer off. Instead, she worked. She's going to go back to the school. When she does, I'm going to switch jobs, actually taking the one she has... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, July 29, 2005One small step for man, one giant step for...Scratch that. Just one small step for me. I'm going to change jobs next month. Still not jumping in with both feet into my Martial Instructor goal but taking a step in the right direction. The job pays more and has a slightly better shift for me. I think that one of the things that is interfering...

I actually know the answer to the question but it's a scary answer. I would like to be a full time martial arts instructor and writer. Right now, I live in a small town so I don't know how feasible the first one is. Moving again doesn't...

There is no sound but I guess that doesn't matter. Most of these sets are tuned in to some sports channel. That or an infomercial. If you want to know anything about fitness equipment sold between the hours of...

It seems that strangers with sharp objects rank even higher on the dislike-o-meter. I ended up sitting in the chair with him on my lap, trying to get him to hold his head a little bit still. He did stop crying but he...

We ended up deciding to stay in place for a year, I think. =) Who knows? We know we aren't where we want to be. This whole stop was just a transition phase while we tried to figure out where we really... Sign in to see full entry. |
