I Want Two Cookies.
April 17th, 2006 by Neal LockeGrady is officially speaking in sentences now. I’m not sure exactly what the first one was, but a few minutes ago, he held up two fingers and informed us that “I want two cookies.” Not bad–a subject, verb, adjective, and direct object. Not to mention some developing math skills with the fingers (two cookies are certainly better than one). Some other sentences as of late include, “I see Mommy,” “I want that,” and “Look Daddy: A horsie.” I told Grady that when he says his first compound sentence I’ll give him a whole box of cookies. Now who’d have pegged me for the bribing sort of parent I often criticize?

Wow, Gradie has sure grown up fast, and right before our eyes, well through your writing Mr. Locke. I can still remember seeing those posts of Gradie’s first words, and now I’m seeing this one of Gradie already talking in sentences!

Oh and whoops! I just noticed that I had misspelled Grady’s name up there, I really should start to proof-read my stuff more often…

Must we always REQUEST updates?

Okay, so I know you’re not going to update. But I’ll ask you what I will momentarily ask Mrs. Grimes: since she’s now officially a high school graduate, anybody feel like moving Ivonee up to the College Students section?

Hi, “Mr. Locke.”
It’s been a long time since I last posted a comment. Glad to see your family is doing well. Wish I could’ve seen your performance of Friar Laurence!
As of today, I am once again “Deborah Given.” But I suppose it’s “Ms” now, not “Miss.”
