in noodad » Frustrations of a One Word Kid on Noodad
Not sure how old your son is, but my son is 9 months old, and has been uttering the words ...\"Uh Ohhhh\" for the last month. Its pretty cute and pretty funny at the same time. All we have to say is \"Uh Oh\", to get him started.

I wouldn\'t worry about it if I were you. Their speech starts in little bits, with alot of repetition. Just enjoy the Moh, and wait for him to start talking : )

in noodad » How to Check Email With a Kid on Your Lap on Noodad
Except we have a desktop, and my 8 month old (this age changes monthly ; ) crawls underneath the chair, smacks my feet, and starts yelling/crying.

When I sit him on my lap, I let him smack the keyboard, but open up a text editor, so all the keyboard smacks are not interpreted into potentially damaging commands.

So no solution to this problem yet for me, since I am sitting on a chair...but hope springs eternal...

in noodad » No More Belle in the Car Please! on Noodad
My little guy is only 7 months, but whatever experience I have comes from my 4 year old niece and nephew (twins).

Your problem was that you let her hear her music on the way there. Kids of that age have absolutely no ability to plan/think ahead. They want instant gratification, and they will agree and say whatever they want to get it. I would rather have put up with the fit on the way there (depends on where you were going), and then listen to her music on the way back. My sister-in-law tries to \"negotiate\" with her children, but the wily little minxes will say whatever they want to get the instant fix of getting what they want. Later on when you tell them of your verbal \"contract\", they are like...\"huh? did I say that? well thats in the past, and all that I care about is the now\".

be aware of this \"in the now\" thinking framework of young children and try to give them a balance of gratification and understanding reciprocity.

in noodad » Knowing the Poodad Face on Noodad
My guy is only 7 months, but we have learned the \"poo face\". He goes from being playful, to suddenly very serious and focuses, and the little grunting sounds. We know that we have a poo on the way. Sometimes this is preceded with little farting sounds.

Glad to know that learning this will help later on when we bathe him in a bigger tub.
