Subj : Re: moving or not To : Barry Martin From : Nancy Backus Date : Tue Mar 03 2020 21:36:36 -=> Quoting Barry Martin to Nancy Backus on 26-Feb-2020 07:25 <=- BM>>>> Probably so! The 'nagging' we gave will come back! NB>>>> And I bet sometimes telling you not to be too close, etc.... :) BM>>> So far not yet! NB>>> When we were little, and Daddy would take some of us kids shopping with NB>>> him, he'd often admonish us "Now, don't touch anything" as we were NB>>> entering the store. One day, as he was examining something to see if he NB>>> wanted to buy it, a clear voice piped up from his shoulders (where my NB>>> probably 2-3 year old sister was being carried),"Don't Touch ANYthing". BM>> As one of the managers said at the store "paybacks are BM>> hell!". NB>> It certainly had the rest of us laughing... and became part of the NB>> legendary family stories... Even those that weren't born yet NB>> "remember" it... BM> Yes: heard the story so many times it's like they lived the event BM> also. :) Pretty much... :) BM>>>> Reminded me a bit of the Loch Ness Monster but she said it was a worm. BM>>>> She also said she doesn't like raisins anymore but ate them anyway. NB>>>> Novel presentations sometimes do get food eaten anyway... ;) BM>>> Plus the raisins had some of the donut's powdered sugar on them so BM>>> became even more sweet tasting. NB>>> That could help, too... :) BM>> She seems to be in the phase where a lot of foods she used to gobble BM>> down are not liked now. Possibly more of a burn out than dislike but BM>> we don't force: she's eating a decent variety, just of different stuff. BM>> She said she didn't like raisins (the eyes) but ate them anyway; no BM>> cajoling. NB>> If you don't push, she'll probably eventually go back to her old NB>> favorites, just in more moderation... I'd guess she's getting into a NB>> phase of honing her discretion and ability to choose... :) BM> Right. Could be more "I'm tired of" as opposed to "I don't like" but BM> hasn't learned the distinction. Either way it's probably going to be BM> left on the plate. As long as what she does eat is overall nutritious BM> everyone is fine with it. That's the important thing, after all... :) BM>> That's a possibility too. We were suprised she was able to jump on to BM>> the couch -- always needed help to get into the car for car rides, BM>> even the back steps into the house (two + landing then into the house) BM>> she'd need help. LIS, OK, we're all surprised, the jumping up was an BM>> accident, nothing bad happened, she knew she wasn't supposed to be up BM>> there and we knew she knew and it occurred only becuse we were all BM>> playing. ...And then I had to help her down because she couldn't work BM>> up the courage! NB>> She probably had surprised herself as well... Just enough extra NB>> adrenaline to propel her higher and farther than she thought... ;) BM> We thought similarly. She did have that look and tail-wag of "look BM> what I did!" combined with "oh poop! I shouldn't be up here - but look BM> what I did! ...Now how to I get down? Please don't spank me: I know I BM> did wrong!" LIS, I/we did let her know we knew it was an accident, BM> were as surprised as she was, and she's not going to be in trouble. As long as she didn't get into the habit of it, no harm done.... ;) ttyl neb .... What do you mean, QWK?
