Critterfixer Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 DH has been known to call me Mr. Mom-Head from time to time when I'm getting snippy. :lol: And so a nickname was born. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Jean, how is EP doing? Have the cardiac-ish symptoms subsided? They come and go. She still has symptoms on occasion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I think the boy was three or four. Evidently between the two of them, they had managed to stomp on my very last vestige of patience. I was telling them it was time to get in the bath, and hurry up, and don't stand there, and why aren't you ready yet and so forth. I probably said something about towels and not getting water all over the floor again like last time. When I turned my back, there came this little mutter from one of the turtles. "Yes, sir, Mister Mom-head." I had to run fast before they heard me laughing. Yeah, I likely would have had to run, too. :smilielol5: :smilielol5: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I think I'm going to go home and throw a bowl of milk on my son so that he isn't missing out on anything re: siblings. Then I'll say sorry, but only because mom said I have to. I'll stick out my tongue at the end for good measure. Or maybe I'll just read him Krissi's post and remind him how awesome being an Only is. Because I think we're almost out of milk. :leaving: Pour powdered milk in his bed. It'll soak into his pores and he'll stink for days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I’ve heard people use that term on this forum but I’m not really sure where the line is for normal behaviour and what it’s linked to...I mean if you determine your kid is sensory seeking does that just put a more positive label on what you already know or does it point to other issues? It means that you might need to make sure to "fill that sensory bucket" in certain positive ways so that he doesn't seek to fill it in negative ways. At least as much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) It means that you might need to make sure to "fill that sensory bucket" in certain positive ways so that he doesn't seek to fill it in negative ways. At least as much. I have a saying that goes "If you don't deal with your kids then you're going to have to deal with your kids." If you don't run them they're going to run, if you don't give them something to chew on they're going to bite, if you don't talk to them they're going to yammer, and if you don't feed them they're going to eat. Be the initiator of the good or you will be the recipient of the bad and you will only have yourself to blame.

AMJ Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I took ds to TKD. And then I got chips and queso. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ DD13 and I are eating Sonic after leaving long Aikido evening early. Half an hour into the adult's class DD ripped open a scab on her foot and couldn't stop trembling. I patched her up and we picked up food on the way home so we wouldn't have to prepare anything, we could just eat. I think early bedtime tonight is in order, perhaps with warmer fuzzy jammies for the chilly night. It's like being wrapped in snuggles, which DD could use tonight, I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 What is coding, anyway? Writing computer programs, basically writing the computer code that makes things happen. In the Google doodle celebrating kids coding they give you icons for the bits of code, and you put them in to make the bunny do stuff.

lanalouwho Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hmm. I always wondered. I see kids coding classes and didn't know whether to enroll anyone. Is that what we used to do when we had that old radio shack tandy computer and had to type in all those long commands that you always messed up on when you got 99% done?Try out Scratch (or Scratch Jr. for prereaders) before you sign up for any classes. It's free and you can see if they even like coding. Weapon X loves Scratch Jr. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
