Potty Time June 30, 2008
Posted by fmmh in : Baby , add a commentToday my son tinkled in the toilet! It was really amazing to see his interest because toilets can be very scary to toddlers.
He had a poopie diaper and I asked him if he wanted to use the toilet and he ran into the bathroom and lifted the lid to the toilet. I didn’t want to clean up a huge poop mess so I brought him to the changing table to use the wipes. He screamed and cried for the toilet! I hurried to take off poopie diaper and clean the mess, then I let the naked boy run back to the toilet. By the time I arrived in the bathroom he was trying to climb into the toilet–one foot on the floor and one foot in the toilet. Duh he needed his step stool, so I put that along with the toddlers toilet seat in place.
He climbed up the stool and leaned forward over the toilet and made pee pee! I was soooo shocked and amazed because Hubby and I do not role play this with Huck.
Kids are so amazing! Monkey see, monkey do. They pick up on things we adults take for granted. How can making pee pee be so magical? I’m so proud of my son!!! He’s growing up to be a big boy.
That’s Right! June 8, 2008
Posted by fmmh in : Ramblings , add a commentI’ve been watching YouTube videos on neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, who discusses how a stroke affected her life and thinking. She touches on some profound stuff, especially regarding the nature of identity, dissociation, and spirituality.
Jill describes her stroke in a way I am very familiar.
Like Jill, I think I experienced Nirvana. I see my past experiences much like a glitch in the matrix. It’s confusing when I start slipping back in that right mode. Jill’s expertise on how the brain works along with her story comforts me. She emphasizes a healthy person functions best without allowing either side of the brain to completely dominate thoughts and behavior. Excellent!
Check out Jill’s main video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU and search her other videos available on YouTube.
Synchromysticism June 7, 2008
Posted by fmmh in : Ramblings , add a commentStumbled upon this interesting topic of synchromysticism which I define as “synchronicity semiotics of media, arts, and the everyday environment.” Scroll down to explore some intriguing synchromystic blogs (listed in the side links).
