We haven't chosen a name sign for Ben yet, because (a) his name is short and easy to finger-spell, (b) when his equipment is off (which is when signing is more critical) he's the only deaf dude in the room, so he knows we're talking to him, and (c) I've been intimidated by the Deaf injunction against hearing parents choosing a name sign for a deaf child -- apparently, this is supposed to be endowed upon the child by a respected Deaf elder when the time is ripe. My husband wants to go ahead and choose one, to heck with cultural sensitivity, so I suppose we will soon.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065377267682881396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-49685476728113242232011-06-21T20:44:45.765-05:002011-06-21T20:44:45.765-05:00We moved Ben to a Big Boy Bed last winter, but biz...We moved Ben to a Big Boy Bed last winter, but bizarrely enough, he almost never gets out of it of his own volition -- I think they trained him at daycare to Stay Put. As desirable as this seems, it's confounding our attempts at night toilet training.<br /><br />Yeah, been there, dreamed that. And the travel dream, too. Another weird recurring stress dream that I have is about moving. Sometimes I have the other side of the college dream -- I'm the professor and I don't know where the classroom is or what I'm teaching and I don't have the book. Same deal, really, just the other side of the desk.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065377267682881396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-17515207698905041162011-06-21T19:16:30.014-05:002011-06-21T19:16:30.014-05:00Oh, no, escape from the crib! This is one of thos...Oh, no, escape from the crib! This is one of those growing older things that I'm happy to resist. Biffle keeps wanting us to transition Maybelle to a toddler bed, and I'm insisting that she not only stay in the crib, but that she has the crib enclosed in a zip-up tent--originally purchased to keep the cats out of the crib, but with the convenient side-effect that it keeps the person in the crib.<br /><br />This isn't going to work forever, I know. At what point does it become inhumane for me to zip my daughter up into a tent at night?<br /><br />Congratulations to your daughter for making your life so much more challenging!Alison Piepmeierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972854288403934814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-1725056689753429722011-06-21T16:19:30.866-05:002011-06-21T16:19:30.866-05:00I just had a variation on that dream...I signed up...I just had a variation on that dream...I signed up for several classes that all met in the same time slot so I could only go to each one some of the time. And I was juggling madly and failing all of them.<br /><br />what could that mean?<br /><br />The bed thing..ugh. We had a doorknob cover on the inside of Abby's door, so she was trapped in her but she just figured out how to pull it off...not sure what's next. Hook and eye on the outside? I really don't want her wandering, even if she does find her brother and watch TV with him.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248485766805270628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4364575095827041469.post-88947912312451774432011-06-21T00:49:03.920-05:002011-06-21T00:49:03.920-05:00I DO remember those dreams and the insane ones I h...I DO remember those dreams and the insane ones I had, too, when I worked as a waitress.
