[Belated] Hump Day Humor

I love this one! I always want to show it to my classes when discussing revising and editing their essays. :)

Tacit Tuesday: GASP!

Sweet Sunday: Playing and Learning

I love to watch my daughter learn. I can almost see the wheels in her head turning as we play and talk and go places. Some cute things she taught herself:

1. On the days my dad watches her while I work, he meets me in Kerman so that I don't have to drive all the way to his house, especially when its foggy. We have settled into a spot in the Save Mart parking lot....so Isa will now ask if we are going to "Gampa" everytime we enter similar parking lots.
2. The "On Demand" theme song that comes on everytime I play a Sesame Street episode.
3. The process to brushing her teeth: say hello to Elmo, Grover & Zoe (on her toothbrush), rinse, paste, scrub scrub scrub, rinse scrube rinse, say goodbye to Elmo, Grover and Zoe and dry face
4. To throw both arms in the air and yell "Touchdown!" with her Daddy

The last one is my favorite because watching Uciel teach her is by far my favorite thing to see. I remember a conversation I had with my dad when I talked of marrying Uciel: my dad asked me to be very sure this was the man for me. He asked if I could see myself with him still after 50 years, like all of my grandparents were/are. What comes to mind now is his other question: Do you think he will be a good father to your children? I love that he has proven my answer correct.
Today I watched Isa's wheels turning as she learned that if you can't pull the magnets apart, try sliding them.
