We’ve been starting to teach Katherine to tell time.<\/p>\n
Nothing systematic or major, mind you. The goal is, in fact, rather selfish: to get her to not come in and wake us (or Margie) up at 5:30 a.m.<\/i><\/p>\n
She knows the clock in her room. And she knows her numbers from 1-10, at least.<\/p>\n
So we put a big “7” next to the hours part of her clock. When the number on her clock is a “7,” like that, she can come in and wake us up. If it’s an “8,” sing Hallelujah and come on in. If it’s a “6,” go back to sleep, or play quietly, or read.<\/p>\n
There was a bit of confusion at first, having to do with whether she could come back downstairs in the evening when it said “7” then, too. But we got over that.<\/p>\n
IM from Margie this morning:<\/p>\n
Margie says<\/u>:
\nKitten slept in until 7:15
\nMargie says<\/u>:
\nShe proudly showed me it was 7 on my clock, your clock, her clock, and the clocks in the guest room…<\/p>\n
Huzzah!<\/p>\n
The proof of the pudding will come tomorrow <\/i> (Saturday) morning, of course …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
