There we hoped to get Alex over his mushrooming loneliness of having his one sibling gone by buying him another big metal letter. Image: cdn.overstock.com The biggest and brightest of these things cost $15 each and come in bright colors and stand about nine inches tall, and, if anyone’s interested, make a godawful clatter when dropped on the table in the coffee shop. Alex has the A, the B, the C, and the D. With his peerless sense of direction he hopped and tugged us toward Urban Outfitters three blocks away, with every bounce of his feet leaving more and more of any sadness over Ned’s departure further behind. “Letters?” he said. “Lette...

Here are some of the gems. 1. Learn the alphabet. Do you know why the vowel “I” comes well before the vowel “U”? Because a person must take care of herself before trying to help someone else or the world. It’s the same logic that flight attendants use when they swear to you that your plane isn’t going to crash, but in the event that it does, you’d be smart to fasten your own oxygen mask before helping the kiddies. Do it in reverse, and you’ll all run out of air. 2. Stop the singing lessons. I could have used this one a long time ago: “Never try to teach a pig to sing.

"My son swallowed a nickle."The kid just smiled at me. Me: "So, you swallowed a nickle, huh?"4 yo: "Yes, ma'am."Me: "Do you feel it in your throat?"4 yo: "It's in my tummy!"Me: "Ma'am, this isn't really a 911 emergency, this trip will cost at least $600 dollars...do you want us to take him in or would you like to do it?"Lady: "Well...do you think he'll just poop it out?"Me: "Probably, but there could be other issues."Lady: "What would you do?"Me: "Ma'am, I'm not sure what I would do...I remember swallowing a penny back when I was a kid, I passed it just fine. I probably wouldn't take my own kid to the ER, maybe a trip to your pediatrician would make you feel more at ease..."Lady: "That's probably a good idea."Just a scared young mom.

He practices his letters every day; all the letters tend to become rounded and looping; diagonal lines and letters like V are difficult. Charlie’s OT is teaching him to type and I think this will ultimately prove fruitful.

I guess the monks needed to practice their ABC’s too before sitting down to copy manuscripts like this.
