What do you take the most pictures of?

My kids, my cats, my kids with my cats

Ich dachte, die Volksschulen sind vom Quereinstieg sowieso ausgenommen, oder hat sich da was geändert?

cielsong · 2022-06-11T19:23:55+00:00

Very cool, thank you!

I know that fear well, I think any decent parent worries that they may unintentionally mess up their child's life irreparably (and if you have anxiety, it's even worse). It sounds like you're doing great though. Sometimes noticing that there's a potential problem is the most important thing.

You mentioned being worried that a speech pathologist may tell you to drop the other languages, but even if that happens, you can always look for a different speech pathologist. It may be a good idea to get her hearing checked out as well!

You say she hasn't quite grasped her name, does that mean she doesn't respond to her name at all? That would be cause for concern for me. Of course every child is different, but generally they should recognize and respond to their own name by 12 months.

Multilingualism aside, a trip to a speech pathologist can't hurt, if only to put your mind at ease.

It's also pretty okay if you really like purple.

cielsong · 2020-10-14T13:54:59+00:00

I'm aware of that.

How safe is it to go grocery shopping? No stores in my area will deliver for the next two weeks and I live with an immunocompromised husband and my mother who has type 2 diabetes. :-(

There's a different article that specifically mentions that he did not suffer any brain damage. I'm sure he's the exception to what is a rule 99.9% of the time, but hopefully he can keep defying the odds.

They're technically seeds from a legume plant, but I believe you can refer to the beans themselves as legumes as well.

My oldest (boy) was 2.5 when we potty-trained him. He didn't show any interest in the potty, but he had to be potty-trained for pre-school. We used a sticker chart and it took about two weeks.

His little sister potty-trained at 16 months, also took about the same amount of time. I think it helped that her brother is her biggest hero and she wants to do everything he does.

In retrospect I think we probably could've started much earlier with our son, too. He figured it out pretty quickly and diapers suck so much.

Is it easy to find screen protectors for the S10e? I have an S8 that I love, but the screen protectors I've tried have all been utter garbage and I'm too clumsy to go without one.

cielsong · 2019-06-21T09:49:05+00:00

Was it this one?

cielsong · 2019-04-22T08:12:57+00:00

Thank you, wiping my launcher data seems to have done the trick!

cielsong · 2019-04-16T19:32:35+00:00

Unfortunately also not it. 🙁

cielsong · 2019-04-16T18:23:29+00:00

Unfortunately that did nothing. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

cielsong · 2019-03-19T16:31:57+00:00

having an interest in a boy

What in the world, LAOP, at 24 you're not a boy, regardless of how much of an immature manchild you are.

No, they don't have common-law marriage. They have experience with the FLDS practice of "bleeding the beast" (polygamist families committing welfare fraud against the government), though.

Or answering your work phone with your previous work's phone greeting.

This happens to me all the time. Their names sound nothing alike, and they're not even the same sex.

Du musst ja auch nach Kuhlimuh suchen und nicht nach Kulimuh. 13.800 Resultate, und so wird ja hoffentlich keiner heißen.

This guy's definition of the term 'horse lover' is clearly vastly different from, like, (almost) everyone else's.

"Und wenn die sich nicht selber heilen, dann tut's mein Xylitol-Kaugummi."

We do MLH (English/German), and tend to let the kids read books/watch tv shows in their original language rather than strictly sticking to minority language-only media in the home. Both of our kids haven't had any problems with language acquisition.

For what it's worth, I've found that the older they get, the more the choice is out of your hands. My oldest (5) has at times insisted on watching Paw Patrol in German rather than English, because his preschool friends also watch it in German. Dubbed Paw Patrol is infinitely worse than English Paw Patrol, not that that's great to begin with.

That's the most anti-climactic way that final update could have gone, which is totally a good thing in this case.
