lovely. I had one of those yesterday too. Did a lot of knitting, so peaceful.

I must take that up again. Last thing I knit was a heavy winter (outdoor) sweater for my son
2:39 am
sprite

wow, sounds good. Those are heavy on the needles though.
2:40 am
flosey

yes but I did enjoy knitting it - that must have been about 10 or more years ago!!
2:41 am
sprite

oh wow! That is a long time to go without knitting. I knit every winter. Usually in summer I do crocheting, less drape on the lap, so less hot.

11:16 am

Kids don't remember stuff from when they are very little. And a Disney trip should be remembered.

11:40 am

even better to get him connected to the characters in the books that he likes to see or hear - Seuss has some good characters, we also had lots of thomas the Train books for my grandson

That's a hint
12:45 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I was in a bookstore cafe this morning and they were playing "How do you solve a problem like Maria." When they got to the part when one sang "I'd like to say a word in her behalf" everyone in the store said in the right beat (te5) Maria-makes me-laugh ahaha. It was funny.
12:46 pm
Kaplan the Magne

But back to the proper noun, the person you always mean to read but don't, who wrote a book about staying in bed and gossiping...
12:46 pm
Scrabbler

I have no idea, Kaplan.
12:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne

He searched for lost time.
12:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne

He was French.
12:48 pm

Jacques Cousteau?

For a long time he used to go to bed early.

I was at the local schools doing physical exam for 4 hours this morning. I know I will have a HS nightmare tonight.
1:08 pm
EvaNadine

HS is a nightmare, in and of itself.
1:09 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, so I relived some of it today: hearing the bell between periods, seeing kids in the hallway, seeing their textbooks, talking to them about life and school.
1:10 pm
EvaNadine

::shivers::
1:10 pm
Scrabbler

Yes, I much prefer dealing with prepubertal kids--more fun.
1:12 pm
EvaNadine

speaking of which, mine decided to start taking a few steps! hes not really convinced yet, as crawling is much faster, but he is dabbling. ;)
1:12 pm
Scrabbler

He will keep improving and then run next. You will be very busy the next few years.
1:13 pm
EvaNadine

im working to enjoy each phase as it comes.
but id be lying if i said im not eager for him to have some communication skills beyond crying...
1:14 pm
Scrabbler

I have always been fascinated by language development. At about 18-24 mo he will have a language explosion. That is fun to witness.
1:16 pm
EvaNadine

yeah...im not worried by his lack of playing with words, since he makes PLENTY of various sounds...so i knows its all in there.
but it would make life a wee bit easier if he could say "hungry" or "tired" heh
1:19 pm
Scrabbler

Teach him some basic signs. It is easy starting at age 6 mo or so. Eat, drink, tired, etc.

It was VERY gross
2:00 pm
hego

gum chewing?
2:01 pm
Aussieme

I seriously would have knocked her on the head. That chewing action would've driven me bonkers
2:01 pm
mattygroves

Yesterday on the train there was a woman chewing gum VERY loudly and obviously. I took a 5 second video of it and posted it.
2:01 pm
hego

hahaha!
2:01 pm
Aussieme

I was gritting my teeth watching it.....
2:02 pm
mattygroves

She was on the train right near me for about half an hour. I was going mad
2:02 pm
Aussieme

I would have had to say something.
2:03 pm
mattygroves

She had earphones in. That must have been so loud to her - ever tried chewing anything with earbuds?
2:03 pm
hego

It's shocking how rude and inconsiderate people are anymore.
2:03 pm
Aussieme

Makes it sound louder
2:04 pm
mattygroves

She probably didn't even realise she was doing it. I kept glaring at her and miming her action but she was oblivious. I clearly have earned my British citizenship!

That's so American - you always know when Americans are in a restaurant here. I once heard a group of Americans discussing, in a restaurant over dinner, colostomy bags and bowel complaints
2:08 pm

I had to train myself out of that when I first came over

you have the em 7, though, right? I think it's plural of the word you tried to get.
9:40 pm
hurshy

thank you rbud, i just started and no, i didn't think it through to see if i could get the plural!
9:40 pm

okay, then. :D

good subject. and so many wrong examples to point out, haha! Good luck. :)
9:43 pm
hurshy

their spring musical is The Little Mermaid, so i've been working it in in various ways to enhance their learning, this is the biggest one.
9:45 pm
rbud

I think Mulan might be one of the only good examples, but then I haven't seen too many recent ones. Kids are grown.
9:46 pm
rbud

The mermaid was never one of my favorites by a long shot. She's just too gullible and ditsy for my liking.
9:46 pm
hurshy

even with mulan, just the drawings are unrealistic (i don't know the story). they draw women - and always have - with unnaturally small waists, wrists, and so forth, while giving them gigantic eyes.

and they draw men unreasonably large, at least since Gaston. and body image disorders are now being found in more boys in addition to so many girls. they boy ones just take different forms, taking protein concoctions and obsessive attempts to build muscles, etc.

ah, but at least Mulan kicks butt in a man's world, more or less. Disguised as a man to go off and fight. Smarter than most of the guys.

That's true, hadn't thought about the male physique aspect. You're right, the princes used to be more "normal" in build. Way too pretty, but not body builder types.

yeah. look up a pic of merida's parents in brave. it's one of the best for showing how ridiculously exaggerated they've gotten.

And don't get me started on how Batman used to look in the TV series, compared to the inflated rubber muscles he now has, hahaha!
