Smoking--I still have cravings for it, and I...Okay:<br />Smoking--I still have cravings for it, and I was never hooked. This past month or so has been really bad for some reason!! Every time I smell one, I want it. Weird.<br /><br />The book--I'm SO GLAD your kids both love that Sandra Boynton book! SO CUTE! Books are awesome.<br /><br />Thyroid news--sorry it's graves. :((( It seemed like you were unwilling to believe it was PPT, part of you knew it was more permanent maybe? But it does seem to be settling down a bit, y'think? I just hope you can find a med balance where you feel good. I'm sure it's out there! Go back to the acupuncturist maybe? Maybe in conjunction with the meds a good balance can be found.<br /><br />Yellow hair--GARY IS SO FUNNY! And hair grows. :)))<br /><br />Ani--can you get much cuter? What's up with those BOOTS? I want a pair! And a girl.<br /><br />And the one word discipline thing:<br />This reduced word technique SAVED MY SANITY parenting Matthew. (Is saved my sanity a funny thing for a crazy person to say?? lol). It may very well have saved HIS LIFE :DDD<br />I really think too many words=blahblahblahblahblah.<br />Some boys use very few words in a day [see: Barry MacDonald re boys] and those boys deserve a parent who responds to their physical makeup by using fewer words in a day, so they don't get overwhelmed. I've also learned, with Matthew, not to explain things until he ASKS me to. If he asks me for or about something, I answer with one, two, or three words. Then I wait. If he wants more info, he asks, and I give him one sentence. Then pause. Then add more if he still appears to be listening and/or interested. Otherwise, I'm talking, and his mind is on Mars. It's so obvious. Especially when he interrupts me to say something related to a completely different topic!!<br />I've learned a ton by parenting him, I gotta tell you. Not least of which is how to teach a kid something without using a lot of words.<br /><br />He's a ton better now with verbal stuff, since his speech has been tremendously sorted out. I can explain things in full sentences, whereas before it had to be no more than three or four words, TOTAL. Try teaching a kid ANYTHING in FOUR WORDS!!!<br />haha.<br /><br />Love you. Take care! You'll run again, I know it.

I want to mode...I'm torn on the one word thing. I want to model politeness and good grammar to them. But lately I feel like I'm talking to the air. One word would probably be more effective.<br /><br />So exciting about your newborn photo shoot!<br /><br />I want to see the yellow hair too. I swore off colouring as well... too expensive and too much work to maintain. Also after being highlighted to the max I'm pretty happy with the colour God chose for me. (We'll see how I feel about that once more grey comes in).Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284126693807825066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-12549874292102497372010-01-07T21:53:18.856-08:002010-01-07T21:53:18.856-08:00I agree time for a hair photo! :)I agree time for a hair photo! :)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599282552630012337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-67681618709941888262010-01-07T19:56:19.285-08:002010-01-07T19:56:19.285-08:00I want to see a photo of you with your yellow hair...I want to see a photo of you with your yellow hair!!Mandeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385585738347867046noreply@blogger.com
