I hope I would have mentioned it to you if you hadn't.<br /><br />Anyway, its a great program, my friend recommended it and it completely changed the way I speak to dd2. It does take a huge amt of practice though, using consistent words so that they hear them the thousand times they need to hear them. I can hear a dialogue in my head before I say anything to dd2, making sure I use the correct words. I'm so glad i took the class.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me about the goals we've already met when worrying about the ones we haven't yet reached.Josnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-24799186981492272892010-02-08T01:01:24.838-05:002010-02-08T01:01:24.838-05:00Happy anniversary!

Now if only I could convince certain boys to wait for each other so I can actually hear / listen to both of their responses!danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15555927841950877805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-66779395942559259562010-02-05T22:04:10.895-05:002010-02-05T22:04:10.895-05:00Wow - I am just catching up on your posts.

I will try to also wait 15 seconds after I ask him something.robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004240577952462737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-58560479070698721892010-01-30T13:51:33.513-05:002010-01-30T13:51:33.513-05:00Happiest anniversary!

And if I treat the one I love as if he is my best friend... then I think we shall like eachother forever!<br /><br />And after your post... I have a terrible hankering for Panang! (Darn Mr. Daddy and his Thai food reluctance! Though I am quite sure he could be easily persuaded to try your Mexican restaurant!)<br /><br />He has a love of poetry - as you can see - and I was struck by the thought that you three certainly seem to know where "home" is :)<br /><br />Thank you for the reminder to SLOW down with our children... so important to allow them to respond.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112453369738198010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-76632509146520387642010-01-29T21:18:26.804-05:002010-01-29T21:18:26.804-05:00Hanen is great.

Did you feel like you were with Supernanny? <br /><br />I'd bet we would all change a number of things to watch ourselves. Good for you for receiving the suggestions and implementing them so quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-56802451072489578502010-01-29T16:20:59.142-05:002010-01-29T16:20:59.142-05:00I have learned the value of waiting with a boy I d...I have learned the value of waiting with a boy I do ABA with. However he has started to imitate the expectant eyebrows up face that I must make while waiting. <br /> You are right, being better than technology is praise indeed. <br />I heard a quote once that said "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly. At first anyway." The idea being that we put off doing things until we can do it right instead of just getting started and improving along the way.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582620438886460761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920171049284403071.post-65003149625491731302010-01-29T13:48:32.819-05:002010-01-29T13:48:32.819-05:00I'm so glad I read this post.

I don't think it sounds lukewarm to say that you also LIKE your husband. I think the same...I love him- always, but these pregnancy hormones are making me not always LIKE him and that is tough. R sounds like he is doing well.

ROFL<br /><br />The rest of your post really touched my heart. Your perspective always makes me think "(some would say that is impossible) Me thinking!!" LOL<br /><br />Your post made me brought this poem to mind.<br /><br />Winter's Roads<br />by Ron Carnell<br />I cannot speak for all who stem<br />'Long roads less traveled as their way,<br />Nor question choices made by them<br />In days long past or nights long dim<br />by words they spoke and did not say.<br /><br />Each road is long, though short it seems,<br />And credence gives each road a name<br />Of fantasies sun-drenched in beams<br />Or choices turned to darkened dreams,<br />To where each road wends just the same.<br /><br />From North to South, then back again,<br />I followed birds like all the rest<br />Escaping nature's snowy den<br />On roads I've seen and places been,<br />Forsaking roads that traveled West.<br /><br />This journey grows now to its end,<br />As road reflections lined in chrome<br />Give way to roads with greater bend<br />And empty signs that still pretend<br />They point the way to home sweet home.<br /><br />But all roads lead to where we go<br />And where we go is where we've been,<br />So home is just a word we know,<br />That space in time most apropos<br />For where we want to be again.<br /><br />For even home, it seems to me,<br />Is still a choice we all must face<br />From day to day and endlessly,<br />To choose if home is going to be<br />Another road - or just a place. <br /><br />I hope it speaks to your heart as it did to mine...If not just throw it away...

I can only imagine how hard it is to get back to the routine after a long and wonderful vacation such as yours. <br /><br />I used written cues to help Charlotte with turn-taking. It worked great! Pieces of paper with "Mommy's turn" and "Charlotte's turn" written on it and she really was able to sit and wait for me to finish my turn before taking her next. <br /><br />I agree -that 15 second wait feels like forever!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
