General Conference Lizzieism

Lizzie was coloring and her back was to the TV so when Eduardo Gavarette (I think that is how you spell his name) started speaking Lizzie jumps up and says "I know him!! He was in Napoleon Dynamite!" She thought he was the guy who played Pedro. She recognized his voice. She really is a never ending source of amusement to us!!!!

Vintage

You know how things go out of style?  Then suddenly you see the old styles returning?  Well it is also true of TV shows!  My kids are totally into I Love Lucy.  Hannah got some of the shows on DVD from the library in Vernal.  They have been watching them practically non-stop!  I do have to say the standards for shows back then was a lot different than now!!  Nice to have something to watch and not have to worry about content!!!

Rainy Conference Day

When it looks like this outside:

Then my children do this inside:

Then you strut you stuff! 

When General Conference starts Luke does this:

That is what happens here when we have a rainy conference Saturday!

A short vent...

We had an IEP meeting with Luke's teacher on Monday. He is doing really good at school. Reading is starting to click for him and he is really doing well in math. He is being more confident at school and is the ring leader for a lot of games that go on at recess. All of these things are positive and we are thrilled that he is doing so well. The one thing that is bothersome to me is that his teacher mentioned that she thinks we should work on his baby talk. BABY TALK???!!!! Ok Luke has his speech problems but I don't think he has EVER used baby talk. She used the example that he asked for a drink of wa wa. I have NEVER heard him say wa wa. I asked him if he said that and he said no. When we got in the car he asked me what wa wa is. He used to call Wade DA DA but we would correct him as he got older so he doesn't even say that anymore. The kid started talking when he was 3 1/2 so we kind of skipped the baby talk stage. If he is talking like that he is probably mimicking another kid at school or his teacher just doesn't understand him. Either way it irks me because he has come soooooo far in his speech. Wade and I work really hard to help him in every way we can so as he gets older he can have a somewhat "normal" life. He does have a good teacher and he is doing so much better but I know that she is off on this one point. I didn't say much in the meeting because both Wade and I were a little stunned she said this. I have been trying to pay attention to Luke's speech the last couple of days and I haven't heard baby talk, sure he leaves out a lot of connecting words, but no baby talk. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't me being in denial as a parent, which happens a lot when you have a special kid like Luke. I will be talking to his teacher today to get it straightened out. I just wish sometimes we didn't have to fight so hard ALL the time. For Luke it is worth it. He is such a great kid and we are blessed that we have him in our family! That is my vent.

Lizzie strikes again!

Lizzie said family prayer last night and said something like this:
Please bless that we can meet strangers and be friends.
Bless the strangers that they can be nice to others.
Bless that the strangers will like me.

We think she meant kids at school that she doesn't know. She is actually starting to be less shy around people and I think that is where this is coming from. Wade and I tried not to laugh but she says the funniest things!
