Whee. I'm so so SO happy :) *does the adapter dance of doom*
Ana didn't do anything especially cute today, though we're making great strides with the question "What's your mommy's name?" I hope we make similar progress when we get to "What's your daddy's name?" I don't think I'll do "aunt" or "grandmother's", because I doubt those'll be asked.
Progress is one of those English words that used to bother me a lot, like interject or detail. You've got a prefix, and you've got a stem, but the stem doesn't mean anything. Progress, regress, agression, digress, gress is meaningless. Ject is meaningless, tail has a meaning, but that's not one that's related to detail, retail, entail. Of course, now I understand why that happened, but those words still bother me. I wonder if I can start using "gress" in sentences....
Oh, and Jenn complained about how I moved Goldilocks to a park, saying that "woods" is just fine, vocabulary building, so I filled the rest of the story with bears that enter their houses "full of trepidation" and girls who "defenestrate" themselves. I'm not sure that's what she meant, but it was fun, anyway.
Actually, she did do a few cute things today. First, while trying to find a radio station she could dance to, she found Air America Radio (at least, that's what I think it was, it sounded "liberal" to me, whatever that means) and kept it on there. She lowered the volume a lot, but she never changed stations. So we listened all about the hunger strikes at Gitmo while I brushed her hair. I'm so proud :)
And then today... See, at the Museum, at the end of the programs, they sit on a parachute and go around singing "ring around the rosy", two or three or four times. And then they go under the parachute for a while while the adults lift it up and down. At Battery Park City, there's more kids, so they sit on the parachute while singing a song and telling a story, but that's it. No going around, no going under. So for the past two days, Ana's been sitting on the parachute at BPC, lifting the edge and going "Aka? Aka?", while I'd say "not today". So today, when she realizes what they're doing at the museum, she could've lit up the room. "AKA! *scrambles to the middle* AKA!"
I do love her. She's so cute and sweet.

(I was four when my brother was born and did a *lot* of the work taking care of him. Considering I'm autistic, my guess is that a NT little kid probably could do the same at a younger age?)

They just don't require the constant energy (and entertainment!) that a toddler demands in those first few months. (This is AFTER the first 3 months, mind. Before that they're just nutso.)

Date: 2005-09-21 07:44 pm (UTC)She's also thrilled to help do things like wash the dishes or whatever.
However, she isn't yet *able* to do all these things as well as she'd like, and it slows us down to have her help (we want her to help, of course, but it's not helping yet).
I don't think when the baby's new is the time to try that out. When they're a bit older, maybe - besides, it's good for her to be with other kids.

Date: 2005-09-21 07:54 pm (UTC)I wonder how Ana will take to seeing all these bottles again? She never *did* like bottles, you know. Not even when she was willing to use them.

Date: 2005-09-21 08:08 pm (UTC)No.
Much though I do tell people that one can induce lactation, I don't think I'm especially interested in doing that for somebody else's kid. Thanks, but no.

Date: 2005-09-21 09:21 pm (UTC)I know. And that'd be my answer to her, too!

Date: 2005-09-22 02:13 pm (UTC)"No Conniemilk for baby."
"Anamilk?"
"No Anamilk for baby. Just Mommymilk."
Why can I picture that exact conversation taking place?
