Henry Signed “milk” !
Henry signed milk to me tonight!
He was in the sling, I was trying to help him to sleep, and he was fussing. Finally, he made the milk sign to me, so I took him out and he nursed! So exciting! He has been pointing and clapping for a week or two, and today he also waved at me from across the room. Its so thrilling to be able to understand what he is wanting. Yay Henry!
Lets, see, what else has been happening. Zibby has some more imaginary friends. We have, of course, Mary and Jo-Hos, (the original two) and now Jella Skeleton and Guana, Pretend Frances and Pretend Sara, Guana’s mom, (Guana Skeleton-though its unclear if Guana and Jella are truly related) and now, today, ZIbby told me we are getting another friend. We arent sure if its a girl or a boy, because we havent met them yet. Natch.
The other night, Zibby was sitting next to John on the bench at the dinner table. She leaned around him and started talking to Mary. It was very polite conversation. She leaned around him, and was like, “So, Mary, how is it going?”I love it.Zibby called John a slowfolk the other day. as in, “cmon papa, stop being a slowfolk”. many laughs ensued.
When something is funny, she says it “kills her mind off”, which I think is her interpretation of “blows my mind”.She also loves to say the word “ridiculous”.
I cant believe the Live and Learn conference is getting so close-our big RV adventure is going to be here soon. And the week after, little Henry will turn 1 year old. Unbelievable. But super exciting. Its so much fun to be their mom.I am lucky.
I forgot to say, I was so productive today! I made chocolate chip walnut banana bread, two huge batches of chicken stock, finished a morsbag, did dishes, took zibby to chinese class, made dinner and cut out fabric for a few more projects to be announced later. whew.

I love Zibby! Maybe one day she’ll write stories about her imaginary friends; that’s how my “Zibby” started her life as an author.
Also, thanks for posting the Exercises in Mindful Parenting and for reading my blog! I wish you a happy day.
Very sweet stories.
Wow, you guys are really rocking over there. Zibby has a whole host of imaginary friends eh?
Mail’s used to be Di, he adopted her from his friend Sophie who outgrew her. Classically, most misbehavior around the house was caused by Di. Anoif had Corny. Corny was mostly a chatty thing. We still talk about Di and Corny.
You are going to have so much fun at the conference! I can’t wait to hear a report.
