Not that making a nice brocha or behaving at shul isn't mitzvah-note worthy, but I hadn't realized I could use them to encourage getting into pajamas and going to bed in her bed, on time! (Random example, of course.)miriamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339767447913960853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-12246962064222244072009-11-03T15:26:03.858-05:002009-11-03T15:26:03.858-05:00It is amazing how young they "get" being...It is amazing how young they "get" being funny - with nary a grin. <br /><br />My almost 2.5 YO announces all the house #s on the way to playgroup, from 55 to 67. Accurately. Including distinguishing 6s from 9s.<br /><br />Except for 57. That one he insists is 'nine nine'. Please note that 55 is not 'five five', but 'two fives'.<br /><br />Best poker face I've ever seen, except this morning, and it's been a daily (M-Th) routine for 2 weeks.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628546442999250169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13294304.post-46660632257208834152009-11-03T12:08:35.213-05:002009-11-03T12:08:35.213-05:00I'm glad the mitzvah note business can be sort...I'm glad the mitzvah note business can be sorted out, and that you're not finding out about it much later. Poor boy! What did he say after school?<br /><br />The doorbell chimes story is cute. Funny kid ;) Our ASL teacher was telling us about a deaf boy she knew (stop me if I've told you this already; I may have) who noticed that every time his mom seemed to want a friend, she'd open the door and there would be someone. So one day, feeling a bit lonesome, he did the same, and was surprised and disappointed that it didn't work for him. Of course, being deaf, he completely missed the auditory cue of the doorbell ringing before a friend was there...<br /><br />BTW, I like the ASL sign for SOCK.
