And hurrah for Owen's signing! We haven't been signing with Annabel, but she has a few maybe-words, and she definitely knows how to shake her head "no," and very emphatically, too. It started as a way to avoid food she didn't want or having her face wiped (she hates it), but now she uses it more like a word. Sometimes she'll do something she knows she's not supposed to, like try to take down the living room lamp or pull books off a shelf, shaking her head the entire time.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hil -- if it really is almost half the students in each class and not just a small percentage, you might look at how you are presenting the info. People have different learning styles and we tend to teach to our "own" style. Those who think like you get the way you teach, but those who don't, well, don't. If you lecture, then those who learn best by listening will benefit, those who learn best by doing won't.
Although I strongly suspect the bad evals were just from one or two malcontents and all the stuff I typed above is meaningless.

Yay Owen!
What would make me feel better is reading a post in Beep Me that we have a TICKYBOX!!! Maybe when I wake up, she will have made her debut.
No word so far. Of course, I figured we'd get the call about Princess TickyBox tonight because our internet connection has been down since 7-ish. But no.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Well, haul yourself over to the hospital in all of your regal, gothy glory and insist that they produce Princess TickyBox this instant. She has subjects who wish to greet her.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Jilli, even after the baby is born, it might take them a while to get back to you. The first time around we held off on calling most people, even beloved friends, until after we got home. We were just too, um, discombobulated.
[eta: ooo, pretty number!]

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay! Beautiful name! Thanks for letting us know, Jilli!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Welcome to the world, Lillian!
Thanks, Jilli
