Parent/Teacher Conferences for Em & Zi

Tonight was their parent/teacher conferences. Their teachers had so much good things to say about them. The 1st was how fashionable they are. Emma’s teacher said our whole family looked so well dressed, and how Emma always had cute outfits.  To be honest, I was a little embarrassed. I don’t know why. I don’t like to show it off; I just really like putting clothes together. And 2nd, they are pleasant to teach, being hard workers. Although Emma has some reading issues she needs to improve on because of how she comprehends due to her personality and thinking, her teacher sees how hard she works at everything. She excels in everything else.  I notice that the places she needs improvement are the same things I had a hard time learning when I was her age. Looking back, I’m glad Emma is in a better place with her learning and studies than how I understood things. She’s aparently stronger in math, in writing, and esp. science.  Then it was Zi’s turn. Zi’s teacher asked us if this was her 1st year In school because of how well rounded and smart she is. She mentioned how Zienne engages in conversations, in class […]

Ring-a-Ding-Ding-Ding-Ding

Lot closed – Winning bid:$26,750     Walter White and Jesse Pinkman don’t know what to make of Tuco Salamanca’s uncle, Hector. The old man is wheelchair-bound and can’t speak, and Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul’s characters don’t even know if he is aware of what’s going on around him. But there’s more to “Tio” than meets the eye. That becomes clear when he starts ringing a brass bell attached to his chair. The bell is Tio’s voice. It’s a little charred from an explosion, but it rings as clearly as it did when Tio tapped on it. View all of Breaking Bad’s Props that auctioned and how much they sold for: Breaking Bad Props

Elle using her words at 12 months

It’s making it easier now that Elle turned 1, which means she communicates more to us.  Lately, she’s been motioning to me when she needs a diaper change, esp. when it’s a nasty number 2!  She also knows the word “de-de” which she uses when she want to nurse. When she sees someone, opens a door, or wants to greet someone, she says “hi.”  When she wants to go outside, she’ll wave her hand. Her understand of language is also pretty impressive.  If I ask her where something is, she’ll point to it.  Tonight, I asked her where her milk was and she walked over to where she last put it, picked it up, and gave it to me.  The words she responds to accurately is “where” and “give”.  She also has minimized trying to go up the stairs when I tell her “no”.  She starts crawling down the step.  Also, when I tell her to go somewhere, like “go to your Ate”, she’ll climb down the bed by herself and go to Ate’s room. She also responds to “eat”, “hide”, “bless”. One cute thing is how she will say “thank you” when you give her something. She picked up […]
