Small Boy frequently screams at me not to talk to him when I'm telling him things he doesn't want to hear....it makes me burn but I try to be very calm in my response....and the BA nowadays says<BR/>'Don't worry about it Mum' if I ask for clarification or haven't quite heard something or if she thinks I won't like an answer. That frustrates me too and I say 'but I AM worried about it!!!'<BR/><BR/>Phew, I am finally caught up on your blog!!! :-) Hope you have a great trip away.Arizaphalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11402602175460446158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375540653137192477.post-60433765092854106732008-02-01T23:11:00.000-05:002008-02-01T23:11:00.000-05:00It's amazing to me how our girls parallel each oth...It's amazing to me how our girls parallel each other in their learning! Both #1 and #3 are familair around here. Nadia too has really began to include herself in our conversations - and her contributions really make sense! So exciting. But...we also have the "stop talking" problem. N's version is to say "No, NO, Mama, MY turn talk. You quiet" Just lovely.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604713846429464708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375540653137192477.post-90600772798117312952008-02-01T20:51:00.000-05:002008-02-01T20:51:00.000-05:00Perhaps she has been taking lessons from Garrett.....Perhaps she has been taking lessons from Garrett....he has certainly been known to say "Excuse me Maggie, but stop talking now" on an unfortunately regular basis!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010155174814652914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375540653137192477.post-51797792718611572992008-02-01T18:02:00.000-05:002008-02-01T18:02:00.000-05:00Hmm, funny some of our phrases from the last coupl...Hmm, funny some of our phrases from the last couple weeks are not too dissimilar from M. I'll ge them up later. I have to drive back to work and get Harrison's backpack. Oops.<BR/><BR/>I'll let you know when I do my "fours".

Being someone who also talks too much (according to the 18 year old!), I can completely understand what that was like...coming from you toddler! LOL Hilarious! I posted an old photo today. I saw it on someone's blog last week. (I have forgotten exactly where.) This challenge will be more fun for me, since I will most likely not have any adorable phrases like yours to share!<BR/>Have fun on your trip! Enjoy the family...see you next week.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193498123027264782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375540653137192477.post-43331796155458101992008-02-01T08:56:00.000-05:002008-02-01T08:56:00.000-05:00Oh no, the hot water heater!That is awesome M is l...Oh no, the hot water heater!<BR/><BR/>That is awesome M is learning the conversation flow.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you can convince her to say, "Can we be quiet, Mommy?" since that's a nicer way. LOL. I'm guilty of saying that to chatterbox BubTar, "Can we just be quiet, BubTar, just for a few minutes?!" LOL.Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.com
