When the kids call to me, I answer them without taking my eyes off the screen, my fingers poised above the keys ready to enter the next word I could find: "Mommy's concentrating. Don't distract me.

    Josh was having pears for his morning snack and Zoë, pointing to her bowl, announced that hers were apples. I told her that hers were pears, too, and I did the baby sign for PEAR. Zoë: Pears?

    Sometimes just for kicks, I'd throw silly questions at Josh just to see what answers he'd come up with. I thought I'd do a simpler version of this game with Zoë. Me: Which one do you like better, Zoë --Pooh or Tigger?Zoe: Tigger.Me: Okay, how about Tigger or Piglet?Zoe: Piglet.Me: Piglet or Roo?Zoe: Roo!Me: Roo or Owl?  Read more >
