I think he got bored at times, but he LOVES airplanes, or as he says air-o-plane, so he really loved it.
plus all the buttons on the controller for the tv set in the seat back - that was LOTS of fun for him.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I bet that the frustration blooms into an unstoppable eagerness to learn. He's still a wee sponge and I bet there's a million things he wants to tell you and ask you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I have a message for msbelle that may be of use to other parents as well. In a conversation that randomly turned to those books with different scenes and the names of everything, a friend of mine charged me with teaching mac that calling it a "cement mixer" is wrong, that there is no such thing as a cement mixer, and it should properly be known as a "concrete mixer."
FYI.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
YAAAAAAAAAAY msbelle'n'Mac!
I dunno if it's a faux pas to ask in Press, but does anyone have a media bistro account?
I was gonna offer up DH, but it looks like Google came through first. Your editor rocks!

Oh, Hebrew got it right then, because that's how we call it (um, with the Hebrew words, of course). It's amazing how kids (of all ages. Um, me included) are fascinated by these trucks.

Nilly, yes. I only know a few key words in Amharic (toilet, for instance).
He knows yummy goes with food. I use hand symbols for going to bed.
English word's he knows: shoes, yummy, hello, sleep, airplane, mom, yes, no, thank you, water, stop, wait.

That's a pretty good start, msbelle.

Yeah, thinking about it, I don't know why we keep calling it a cement mixer, since cement is one thing, part of what makes up concrete.
In other news, I just stumbled on the non-annoying version of Inside The Actors Studio: Movies 101, on AMC.
