Joy used to do "Row, row" too, though her scream at the end of the crocodile verse was always a scream-quietly little "aaa." That's one of the items that has vanished for now, but we ought to try again. Also, I love the idea of thinking of other songs and poems with a "ccck" in them. Joy doesn't really let us read books to her, because she wants to be in control of the pages, but poems and songs work well. <BR/><BR/>Next time drop a link to your blog, let me (& other readers) check it out!JoyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15073328328434957851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-73660902214563612842008-08-10T19:40:00.000-05:002008-08-10T19:40:00.000-05:00Hi!I read your post the other day and thought I'd ...Hi!<BR/>I read your post the other day and thought I'd craft a response, as it happens it took longer than I expected to reply (y'know, parenting 'n all).Actually this is the first time I've commented on a blog and I have just begun blogging myself. Anyway,I really like yours and Joydad's style so I'll be a regular reader.It's so cool to be able to read about other parents experiences and find similarities in other kids. I love that you have researched and read more than I, too - the elvis sighting concept made me laugh out loud. <BR/> I have a son Gypsy who is 15 years old. Gypsy loves,I mean LOVES to sing "Row Your Boat" and our last verse has to be "Row, row , row your boat gently down the stream, if you see a crocodile don't forget to scream" to which he lets out a huge ARRRHHHH. <BR/>Actually he's obsessed with it and his main verbal communication apart from the occasional elvis sighting like 'sss' for yes, is to immediately grab anyone who comes within range's hands and say "Ro Ro" to try to get them to perform. Even little babies!<BR/>We have another verse at the end "...don't forget to scream quietly" and he'll do a cute little quiet scream, (for those occasions where yelling isn't appreciated).<BR/><BR/>Just recently he has started doing a scream at the end of one of his favorite story books, when a parrot and a cat come across a pack of curious dogs behind a door. The 'scream' is the sound the parrot makes as it flies away. I thought that might be useful for you - maybe there are other books that include 'cracking' sounds and such so you could expand on Joy's vocalisations? Probably something you've already thought of but I decided to mention it anyway.<BR/>Thanks for the reads.<BR/>Stela.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321315123087040353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-83007636403679144512008-08-06T07:54:00.000-05:002008-08-06T07:54:00.000-05:00it is such a joy (i swear, i did not mean that rid...it is such a joy (i swear, i did not mean that ridiculous pun, no really, i SWEAR) to hear other families' bedtime rituals. <BR/><BR/>i find it to be by far the best and most connected time of the day.<BR/><BR/>thanks so much for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2811189992135134605.post-91383560641668652492008-08-03T05:00:00.000-05:002008-08-03T05:00:00.000-05:00Sounds wonderful.

It's also about the only time she sits still long enough to be held. It's gotten to be part of the routune, to the point where she can be bouncing off the walls one minute, and falling into a snooze the next...<BR/><BR/>Her older sister is a bit too big to be rocked like that anymore.

It was great to meet you both yesterday. Here's hoping that your stay in town brings everything you're looking for!

We feel the same way about our little boy and were fortunate to find a provider who does ABA with sensory understanding. <BR/>Come to think of it, I hope you check your comments....!<BR/>KristieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
