Our new grandson (due in about 2 weeks) will be named Rhys. As in Reese. I also have an Isaac, a Jacob, a Keenan, a Simon, a Kaito (Japanese: Sea star--he has the Big Dipper on his bedroom ceiling, pointing to the North Star that guides all seafarers safely into the harbor), and an Ashley (a girl).Joyce Ellen Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494251587598676788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-1154030075278785102006-07-27T12:54:00.000-07:002006-07-27T12:54:00.000-07:00Actually...

I'm not sure about Jacob; he is not interested in anything but the physical world. He's "slow" verbally, but I think that's because verbal skills just don't grab him. As for problem-solving and mechanical endeavors, he's very advanced. Anyway, I miss him, must get him up here again soon.C. E.

Your grandson,...So glad to see you feeling better. Your grandson, who no doubt has ADHD and can't help his behaviour (sorry to label the young lad, but I personally don't think it is such a bad label. It helps him find understanding for his behaviours and learn to channel them in a positive way, right?)is adorable!!!<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed your post today.lorguruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12981617685285594012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14879983.post-1153976696278584322006-07-26T22:04:00.000-07:002006-07-26T22:04:00.000-07:00Kelly, the mojo is a love of destruction as we tes...Kelly, the mojo is a love of destruction as we test our bodies against the universe--something girls usually don't get, things mothers scold you for.C.

As the former publisher of the now retired <I>Melic Review</I> I recognize your name but am not very familiar with your work, something I'll try to remedy.<BR/><BR/>And thanks so much for the kind comments! Coming from another poet, that's high praise. We all tend to be terribly critical, especially about ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Cyn--he's a "difficult" child, so all the female caretakers name him, but for Grandpa he's an angel.

"unitl just one sheet was missing". And then a laugh. Thanks for posting it.sam of the ten thousand thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378206265831223396noreply@blogger.com
