I...That sounds like it's going relatively well. I laughed at the game called "do what you want while mom lies on the couch"! When I'm exhaused in the evenings I often turn on tv at that stage. Although sometimes Mini gets engrossed in her lego or dolls or something which is great.dublinerinDeutschlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14804856792598440633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-37659561183239569232020-04-14T13:54:08.074-07:002020-04-14T13:54:08.074-07:00LOL at the typo.

Auto fill/correct is seriously bizarre at times.<br /><br />Yeah, my kids are pretty resilient I think, and we try to be matter of fact and calm when discussing the situation, which I think makes a difference. But for sure it affects them. When we see people on the street, especially children, they both will stop everything they are doing and just stare at them as long as they can. When we try to walk away their heads are over their shoulders and eyes welded to the other people. It's not natural what we are being asked to do...especially not for kids. And I do try to acknowledge that. I will explain as best I can why we can't play with other kids right now, but I don't claim we have to like it. <br /><br />AJ did have some video chat time with a friend. Perhaps later her kindergarten will do some Google Meet stuff. It's really not the same though. So much communication at that age is gesture and eye contact and physical....they aren't really that verbal, even AJ who has always been very verbal and expressive.<br /><br />Yup, super busy, full of love, and ever - changing....I just take the positive where it comes. Thanks for the ongoing help and encouragement.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-14288017244607751492020-04-12T06:31:26.576-07:002020-04-12T06:31:26.576-07:00Oh gracious.

Brilliant solution! <br /><br />Visiting the statue made me a little sad, I wonder what the ripple effects of this isolation will be. I hope they are largely positive, but I worry for social development of kids. And been hall heal heh of everyone.<br /><br />Aww, thanks fort the shout out--it was so fun to do a Google Meet with you! I meant it, too... If you want another one I'm happy to help and share what I've got. This online teaching thing is crazy and if we can help each other, all the better!<br /><br />Your day sounds super busy but also full of love. Sending you a little more love to get through this coronapocalypse. (And I really love that term...)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868505568965284742noreply@blogger.com
