Isaac says… January 22, 2010

Posted by a1291762 in : Uncategorized , add a comment

I had this fascinating exchange with my son on the way home from kindy the other day.

Isaac: Did you know that Dorothy (the dinosaur, from The Wiggles) has a second mouth insider her?

Me: What for?

Isaac: So she can talk.

Me: What’s wrong with her normal mouth?

Isaac: It doesn’t open.

He’s right of course but what an odd thing for a child to think of. He hasn’t seen any Wiggles recently though we do listen to them in the car.

Isaac fails night training January 6, 2010

It’s only been 2 weeks but we’re giving up on night training Isaac again. The last two mornings he has failed to wake after wetting his bed, continuing to sleep in the wet puddle. He may be close but he’s not there yet and with normal routines starting up again we don’t have the time to wash his sheets every day.

Looking for a movie… January 6, 2010

So I’m looking for a movie. It was a short film. The world was about to end (explode) and some guy meets a girl and they spend the rest of their lives together (though that’s only about half a day). It was pretty awesome and featured the song Emperor Norton by Electric Winter. I’d like to watch it again.

Here’s the annoying thing. I opened the history window in Firefox and typed ‘Emperor Norton’. This got me to the last.fm page that I visited after watching the movie but after that 2 things went wrong.

1) Since I used the search thing I couldn’t see sites visited before and after this one. Clearing a search doesn’t keep the focus on the selected entry.

2) Since I clicked on the link (and thus visited the last.fm page) Firefox CHANGED the history so that the last.fm page is now listed as being visited today ONLY.

So even though I know that I went to this last.fm page shortly after viewing the movie I now apparently have no way to back-track through my history (short of reviewing every entry individually) to find the movie. If I could remember what it was called I could search for that but I can’t remember so it seems I’m out of luck.

Bummer.

Aha! I found it. It’s called Forever’s Not So Long.

Night Training Update January 2, 2010

We’ve had some success with Isaac though nothing consistent yet. When he does wet the bed it’s right as he wakes up and only a small amount so he’s almost there. I think he’s enjoying not wearing a nappy and is disappointed when he doesn’t wake up dry.
