Gus Van Horn blog Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 1. After returning home from school, Pumpkin surprised me by rambling about something apologetically and even in a bit of a panic. At first fearing she had broken something important, I was relieved when my subsequent investigation showed merely that she was mortified that she had inadvertently taken home one of Mrs. Potato Head's earrings. I assured her that she wasn't in any trouble with anybody, and that we could just return it the next day. 2. I rarely do requests here, but Mrs Van Horn wants me to be sure I haverecorded the kids' respective two-year-old terms for "blanket," so here they are: She'd say, "budubuduh," and he'd say "guicky." 3. Yesterday, before bath time (and shortly after an ill-timed request for a pencil), I got the card pictured in this post from Pumpkin. 4. I think that, ultimately, Little Man has some solid athletic potential. However, he will have to overcome some bad coaching from school, where someone has mis-taught him how to catch. It is interesting to see that, when we play, it's when we either get into a flow, or things become spontaneous, or he becomes interested for any reason, his catching improves dramatically. -- CAV Link to Original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
