This week the Fords: Well, after a week of excited exclamations of going potty in the toilet and picking of pieces of poop that didn't quite make it to the pot, we are almost ready to throw in the towel. We are having a communication breakdown. Jessika does fairly well without any pants on but she just has not figured out that she needs to pull off her pants to go to the bathroom and she will not ask for help. Erika's school cancelled her field trip to go Eagle watching this week due to sub-zero degree weather. I found out that they do not cancel school until it gets 60 below! My great accomplishment this week was organizing the toy closet. While organizing, I brushed all the Barbie dolls ' hair and dressed them. Mind you, I was organizing and not playing!
Words of the Week; "Baby, please," Jessi says in the cutest tone while handing me a diaper. It seems she is in no hurry to grow up! Erika would yell "NO! " in heated dispute when she was two and you called her a baby! Jessika will cuddle right up to you and coo "baby" in agreement when you call her that!
JIM'S CORNER: "German in My Frig"
I love Germany and the Germans. In fact, I decided to take one home with me. I put him in my frig. Now I can practice my German when I'm hungry. He is always there for me. "Wie geht's," I say each day. "Es geht mir" comes the reply, resonating from somewhere between the orange juice and eight-day-old potato salad. "Warum hast du mich nicht besucht, seitdem du in die Staaten zuruckgehfahrt bist?" "Bist du saur auf mich ?," I respond "Ja" "Look, I've been busy lately. I realize you're lonely in there, but that's the way it goes. " He audaciously comes back with: "# $ %% ## @ # !!! (auf Deutsch)." After hearing those nasty tetragrams, replete with obscene body gestures, I put him in the freezer. He's bummin ' now.
