It was another teacher training day today, but this one as professional development as a faculty member of North American College. Yes, our faculty all have doctorate degrees, but I am only sort of a faculty member since I teach the remedial math class.
Probably most of you have seen the twin boys trying to figure out how a fridge works.
Bonnie experienced something similar today at the doctor's office. Isaac's speech is pretty babbly. We understand most things because we know which sounds stand for which sounds--but strangers have a hard time deciphering most of what he says. Well, another boy his age started up a chat about Thomas (his mom helped decipher), and he and Isaac just started in.
Another thing about the doctor's visit and said boy: Bonnie described them as a "new family", you know, with the sort of scared, new look about them. Which I guess puts us in our place a little. We are more familiar by now at that office. And as Bonnie said, today we got a new intern, which I guess again shows how it is for us there. I say "us" loosely, because I've only been in the place once, but the rest of the family goes every month or so. Today, for example, we got an appointment for just a couple weeks from now. And on it goes. Also today we heard such scary words as Imuran (aka azathioprine, an immunosuppressant) and surgery. You can always read more at our IBDinourhome blog.
More about Isaac. He has mastered control over the computer mouse and enjoys such games on the computer as digging with super grover for dinosaur fossils and putting together computer jigsaw puzzles. He also likes real jigsaw puzzles.
Bonnie made the cutest little dress for Annie. We should take some photos.
I got more creative. Probably most of you saw my little video snippet from Woody Allens You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. What a great scene.
Getting this little snippet was a small chore for me. Of course, it was pretty easy, but I was really unfamiliar with what to do, so I had to figure all that out. And now I'm pretty pleased to display the finished product.
Taxes. Time to get going on those. Enough of movie snippets.
Have a good day. Don't be a fool.
i LOVED that first video about the boys and their feet. and the freezer. and that one tells funny jokes. and then the part where they like to watch eachother wave... yeah, they're cute!
ReplyDeleteand that's totally adorable with isaac and the new kid.
as for the second snippet. i just don't get it. the first few times i tried to listen to it, i couldn't hear them at all. now i could hear them, but it just doesn't make any sense why one would share such a snippet. whether referring to a mother-in-law or woody allen... ???
either way, it's good to hear from you. i'll go visit ibdinourhome.
While the twins are so cute, I d love to see some language research on close in age siblings ... our boys totally had their own language ... I m betting you and Trent did too!
ReplyDelete@MamaT, this is one of the most delightful scenes captured on film. The exasperated wife, in bathrobe, exclaims her dismay, and her hawk mother swoops in with advice unbefitting her age and station which belies her deep rooted feelings on the matter and her grasps at putting the world in order by mentioning the gossip of somebody else. Pat pat pat.
ReplyDelete@LAmom, we still do.
^That was Troy, by the way.
