Elite 2796 Texas | Subject: RE: Cute Things That Your Children Say... The latest quotable from my log: I'm standing in the kitchen at 6:30 am, drenched in sweat, making my recovery drink and there's Hannah.....hair all tossled, teddy bear held down by her side in her sleeping shirt. "Never mind Dad. I'll make my own oatmeal. You're too sweaty to be near my food." I love being her dad. |

| Elite 2796 Texas | Subject: RE: Cute Things That Your Children Say... This was cool too. Hannah must have torn this out of her “diary” a little memo pad with “Hannah’s Diary” written on the front and “This is NOT a diary” written on the back cover. She added the disclaimer because she wanted to confuse people so they wouldn’t “peak” into her diary. She wanted to mail it to God.

Prayer at dinner the other night." I love you God. Please keep us safe from all the things. Even the monsters that don't like to be tickled."

oneword - 2006-02-27 1:06 PM Lara - that's so cool. My son is also doing the math stuff all the time, but he's also demonstrating a feel for building things. I swear he's either going to be an art critic, structural engineer - or perhaps a combo of both, an architect. Today, I looked at his brio table and he's built this pretty complex system of tracks for his Thomas trains that looks like a cross between a railroad yard and an interstate interchange. I took a picture of it this morning! |

| Extreme Veteran 684 Highlands Ranch, CO | Subject: RE: Cute Things That Your Children Say... KSlostStar - 2006-02-27 2:41 PM Geez, I'm jealous! My son, who is in 2nd grade, cannot do math to save his life! He is now 1 year behind in math. What I don't get is he builds, and builds and builds like crazy. He's actually eerily good at it. Legos, K'Nex, Magnetix...he has it all! He made me a fruit bowl out of his K'Nex because he thought I was mad at him and he wanted to make me happy. Doesn't it take some math capabilities to build?? Well, he is so uninterested in it, that it is virtually impossible to get him to do math at this point. On the other hand, he is a phenomenal reader! It DOES take great math skills for such spatial tasks as building, but they are often not recognized for what they are. Consider this: a classic sign of giftedness is non-performance by usual/average standards. The math taught in school is possibly so far beneath your son's abilities that he won't even bother with it. He just doesn't need to! |

| Veteran 205 Adel | Subject: RE: Cute Things That Your Children Say... My wife and I were eating dinner with a bunch of people we had just met at a church retreat. My 2 year old daughter pulled up a chair, grunted and her face turned bright red. We asked her "what are you doing?" She said, "Poopin". I think we laughed for an hour. The way she answered the question, was like "duh, what else would I be doing". |

He just doesn't need to! True as a kid I was so bored in school, so I just "turned" it off, and did stuff that I found interesting, or al least less boring. I remember getting an F on a math test BC I had done the work in my head (I thought it was easy and couldn’t understand why the teacher insisted we show our work since it was so easy to do it in my head), and she thought I had cheated. School is great to teach kids how to interact with others and authority figures, but then it becomes a buffet of other "adventures," and each kid takes what they want, what interests them. Spatial thinking is VERY hard for alot of people, and the fact that your kid is good at Legos and K'Nex is something that you should encourage, since after all its something he likes. I played with my Lego’s ALL the time, and I swear I think about thinks in a 3d view, when others are thinking in a 2d view. After all he is "working" (problem solving) in a 3d space, much more difficult than a freaking word problem. (word problems are only semi-complex BC they are in english and you have to take the english and convert it into the mathamatic language). Edited by tyrant 2006-03-01 1:20 AM |

(word problems are only semi-complex BC they are in english and you have to take the english and convert it into the mathamatic language). My son is autistic and he uses building stuff as his release when he comes home from being at school all day. It takes a lot of energy for him to make it through a day at school without melting down, and trying to keep up with the many transitions from one subject to another is very stressful for him. He spends about the first hour when he comes home just building in his room by himself. (Not even a "Hi Mom" when he comes home!) Knowing that he struggles in math at school we try to really, really encourage his building hoping it will eventually help. Plus he enjoys it, and there aren't many things he enjoys. |

| Pro 3906 Libertyville, IL | Subject: RE: Cute Things That Your Children Say... My 4 year old refers to Pottery Barn for Kids as Harry Buns, which I think is a synthesis of Harry Schwartz Bookstores and Pottery Barn. She also used to say 'popkerns' for pocorn, until I asked her if she wanted some popkerns and she asked why I call popcorn popkerns the other night. I switched start times today with a coworker and my whole family was up when I got back from my run versus them typically being asleep when I leave. My three year old asked if I was staying home today and I said I was sorry but I had to work. So she says "Well, I will miss you in a few minutes". She also starts off most of her sentences by saying 'actually'. Kinda funny the way she says it and how expressive she gets. |
