Sunday Snippets 22-28 Nov
Sunday, November 28, 2010 at 12:00AM 
You know when your kids/spouse/dog says or does something totally blogworthy and you think "I've *totally* gotta blog that" but then it only works out at about 3 lines of a blog post and that's just not enough so you just leave it and forget it ever happened? Well, that's why I thought I'd start Sunday Snippets. You can write down and/or photograph something cute, funny or generally blogworthy that happens as it happens throughout the week, and every Sunday make it into a post. I figured since we're all friends here in this bloggy community that maybe you might like to find out what others are up to as well!- Write your Sunday Snippets post.

- Spread the love, let others know about Sunday Snippets!

Oooh it's been a productive week here... Christmas shopping is DONE! Just need to sort out those Christmas card lists now... (family one, Zack's class, Max's nursery... lots of writing to do).
I've even finally ordered some wide-fit wellies! Bout time too. Hope they arrive asap... bloody snow!
-----
Max's talking and communicating is really coming on.
Like, REALLY coming on.
This week we're getting the following regularly:
Peeeez = please
bed = bread/sandwich
mummmeeeee = mummy (YAY! :D )
nana = dummy (don't know why, but when he's lost his dummy, that's what he says!)
Not only that... he's started...
Wait for it...
Wait....
POINTING!! Not just pointing to what he wants, but if I point at something, he looks to where I'm pointing!
He's also starting to do what he's told (sometimes) even if he doesn't want to.
For example, bedtime is sometimes a bone of contention with Max. He's exhausted but doesn't want to leave my side. I can understand that. I am awesome after all!
He'll cry and wail and be Very Upset at me, but he will still trudge up the stairs, albeit very slowly.
Progress? We have LOTS!

Today we went up to the square to see the celebrations for the Christmas lights going on. It was freezing, but my boys did well. Zack was pointing out lots of friends, and generally enjoying himself. There was a free mini panto too, which was great as our feet were starting to feel, well, I don't know what as I couldn't feel mine! You get the picture!
Zack sat happily on the mats for the kids, and the guy who was organising it very kindly let me take Max in on his buggy as there was no way otherwise he'd sit still, and he was screaming the second I tried to take him out of the buggy.
To say they both enjoyed it was an understatement! Zack was giggling and shouting with the rest of the kids, and even Max started laughing his little head off when the two sisters in the play 'fell' into each others faces with 'custard'!
Zack was completely besotted with the Christmas lights. Especially since his bestest friend from school was one of the kids helping to switch them on! As soon as the two of them meet they're full of hugs for each other. Seems my lil lad has a wee girlfriend! LOL :)

Other than that it's been a quiet one this week... what about you?

It's been a long week here, you know, one of those weeks.
Max's talking is awesome!
Yah for progress!
Sounds like you had a great time at the Christmas Lights switch on mmmm not sure if I miss the snow, (it is pretty to look at) or if I'm extra happy to not be cold (and ill) this year LOL
wrap up warm and I hope next week is just as good for you :)

Such a joyous post full of life & energy. Who would have though that pointing would be such an important skill! I do need to have a quiet word though - pressies all bought? It's not Dec yet! ;)
*hugs* lots of them. xxx
I'm just really starting to wonder if I'll be able to get the boys to school and nursery tomorrow. Max won't walk in snow - he just refuses, and there's no was I can get the buggy out in that. :S
I *so* love that you GET it! :) xxx
It's just as well... we have over 6 inches of snow here already! >_<

It is great to see Max coming along so FAST!! The pointing is a really big deal and cute too:) Jen
It is indeed! He even said "mummy please" when he saw the cookies I'd baked this afternoon! :) xx
I missed this for this week but I would love to join in Sunday Snippets next week.
Christmas cards are such a wopper of a job. I'm always amazed when I get it all done!

Oh that'd be wonderful if you joined in, look forward to seeing you next week. :)
Ugh, tell me about it. I know I need to start it soon, but I'm dreading it. >_<
Ooh, what plugin do you use to send replies to comments automatically by email? I've been looking for that one!
It's called Comment Reply Notification. Just search for it in the 'add new' plugins bit and it'll turn up. :)
Sounds like a wonderful week! Your max is making amazing progress :-)

I'm absolutely stunned at how well he's progressing! SO proud of my lil man, and his big brother too, who is being such a help since we've been reading NAS's book My Brother Is Different. :)
Thank you :)
