Mom finally figured out she was talking about a giraffe. That was a relief. She's quite good at spelling things too, once you understand her letters, but usually adds an extra "O", so "pop" suddenly doesn't sound so appetizing.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you're getting better at Kirstenese, and I'm also glad you don't mind parting with the occasional pair of socks. =) She really likes them.<BR/><BR/>I love the pictures of kisses too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-20998855480323264632008-07-05T19:35:00.000-07:002008-07-05T19:35:00.000-07:00Wow, you've posted LOTS the past few days. Well sa...Wow, you've posted LOTS the past few days. Well said, and well pictured. (I still love the Queen Elizabeth picture!) You've come through a heck of a lot including having all of us there. We so appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>There are times when I can't understand Kirsten either. Among other things she has mild Cerebral Palsy which affects her tongue. There are certain sounds that she just can't say. Barb grew up hearing "Kirstenese" so I guess that's why it comes easily for her. Sometimes I just have Kirsten write things down, but that doesn't always help because she's not a great speller either. ^_^<BR/><BR/>Thank you sincerely, for being so kind to her, and to the rest of us. <BR/><BR/>Love, KatheyKatheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415822375877762820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-44901564034115489652008-07-04T18:18:00.000-07:002008-07-04T18:18:00.000-07:00Yeah for the simple pleasures of life, the kisses,...Yeah for the simple pleasures of life, the kisses, cool socks, and understanding one another!!Miriam Stayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420471978588624597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145150938922509338.post-25807014585809803622008-07-04T15:54:00.000-07:002008-07-04T15:54:00.000-07:00I remember once going back to Ohio for Christmas, ...I remember once going back to Ohio for Christmas, and we all went to the airport to pick up Barb. On the way up Kirsten was telling me something in the car which Mom translated as a kid in nursery named July getting up on the table when he wasn't supposed to (somebody correct me if I'm wrong--it was a boy named July, yes? I don't actually know this child). Then after we picked up Barb and were on the way home again, Kirsten had to tell her about it. Barb said, "July got up on the table?" I asked, "<I>How did you know that?</I>" and she said, "Oh, I always know what Kirsten says!" It's a talent.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584075071891748174noreply@blogger.com
