Becca's Smile Permanently Installed

I was recently flying with a lady who is a competitive sky-diver. She mentioned that during our layover in my home city, she would be going to an indoor ‘vertical’ wind tunnel. I mentioned that Becca LOVES the idea of indoor sky-diving and wanted to try. Kelly Woods kindly invited Becca to share some of her tunnel time.

I fear we’ve opened a can of worms that will be uncloseable in a few years.

Perhaps she can be a professional Negotiator! http://harmon1.org/log/2011/10/27/beccas-been-a-busy-little-writer-perhaps-she-can-be-a-professional-negotiator/ http://harmon1.org/log/2011/10/27/beccas-been-a-busy-little-writer-perhaps-she-can-be-a-professional-negotiator/#comments Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:51:30 +0000 admin http://harmon1.org/log/?p=157 Becca made the job chart today. Looks like she fortunately forgot how to spell D A D!

Good thing Dad wasn't home today! Becca designed a family

Her little brother better get himself a lawyer. She’s 8 & He’s 5… with a LONG road ahead of him in this house, apparently!

Appears to be legally binding!

Mac eating some Dinosaur Crunch!

Dinosaur Crunch!

While in the store earlier this week with Mimi & Becca, Mac stepped away from them and found a LARGE pack of Sour Patch Kids (a pretty nasty candy for those not familiar). When Jane turned around, she noticed Mac standing, waiting patiently in line. When he was next, the cashier leaned down and asked, “What can I do for you”?

Mac held up the bag and said, “I’d like to buy candy”.

“Do you have any money”?

“Ness” (Mac’s version of yes)

Mac reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of pretend money. Not missing a beat, the cashier pretended to take money from Mac, looked at her hand and said, “I don’t think this is enough. Do you have any more”?

“Ness”. And Mac reached into his other pocket and pulled out another ‘wad’ of pretend money.

The cashier took the second handful of pretend-money, hesitated and said, “I still don’t think this is enough. Do you have any more”?

At this point, Jane stepped in and asked how much the bag of candy was. When the cashier told her $4.50, Jane said to forget it, that was too much, and they would get something else. The cashier said, “He was so cute, I was almost going to give it to him”!

We are amazed how Mac has progressed to feel confident walking up to people he doesn’t know and engaging them now.

Last night, he went up to the window at the Dairy Bar, having not been there since last summer, and said, “I would like Dinosaur Crunch. Do you have that still”? (A flavor of ice cream there) How he remembered Dinosaur Crunch, and then that he went and asked for it without being prompted is pretty good progress for Mac!

His new-found confidence also has him going to the bottom of the pool to retrieve toys!

Here’s her first successful attempt!

Mac pressed the button for the 16th floor and the other man pushed the button for 7. The 7th floor button would not light up, however. The man said to them, we’re going to stop at the 7th floor first. The elevator went all the way to 16, whereupon Mac and George got off. As the doors were closing, Mac looked back at the man and said, “You’re wrong”.

Oh boy. It’s already starting with him too~

She really did well on her very first attempt and then for another two hours!  The instructor showed them how to carry their boards, then told Becca he’d carry hers to the water for her. She wasn’t having any of it! The board was much larger than she was, but she fought the good fight, and won!  You can either subscribe to all the videos or download the surfing video (and play it with quicktime) here: http://harmon1.org/podcast/beccasurfs.m4v

One afternoon recently he was a little tired as well. Here’s proof!
