Bought The T-Shirt
21 12 2004
Finn’s speachy was concerned that he should know 20 words by the time he was 15 months old. Not twenty to say but that many words that when we use them he would know what we meant.
Since fifteen months is less than three weeks away we decided we probably needed something more than good intentions. So we made up a list of words, based on the ones the speachy gave us, printed it on that t-shirt transfer paper, and put it on a couple of plain t-shirts.
Now when he goes to childcare they girls there know what words to reinforce for him and we might just get there a little quicker.
that is not only cute but very very clever.
No doubt a good souvenir for years to come too
maybe you should print it in reverse so he can read them in the mirror while he’s cleaning his teeth.
or do i know nothing about how 15-month-olds operate?
you seem to know just how they behave in lovely fantasyland
What a brilliant idea, that has left my head spinning. (Although am now considering making a T-Shirt to put on the baby with reminders for my husband: Dad! Rubbish Out! Mow the Lawn! L-a-u-n-d-r-y! etc.) Wishing Finn well.
This is so cute. I can’t read them all - I hope ‘tickle’ is there or planned for the 16-30 list!
I loved Fiona’s comments - what a wonderful way to reinforce demands - would it work on a boss?
It has been such a delightful year watching this young man grow. Thanks to Mark and Nicki for making this happen. Have a wonderful Christmas.
I still have not had a hold of that baby that I was promised late last year!
