394.0. "DID YOU NOTICE THAT THEY NO LONGER...." by GENRAL::MARZULLA () Thu Nov 19 1992 17:48

I thought that we could add another fun note.  How about entries for behavior/
development milestones that has ceased.  Sometimes I get caught up with looking
for whats coming and sometimes I forget to acknowledge what has ceased.

Let me start:

My four year old son has finally stopped sucking his fingers.  He sucked his
index and middle fingers together quite a lot and then all of a sudden, I have
noticed that I don't see him do it anymore and the callouses have just about
gone away.  I did notice him sucking while falling asleep last night but it is
definitely something that is all but put away!  Hooray!

394.1Either they're older or I amPOWDML::PCLX31::SatowGAVEL::SATOW, @MSOMon Nov 30 1992 16:426
I've noticed, with both my 12 year old and my 9 year old, that
"Daddy" and "Mommy" are no more; it's "Dad" and "Mom."  I'm not
conscious of when it happened, and I doubt that it was conscious
on their part either; at least we never openly discussed it.

    We recently noticed with Brittani (5 1/2) that Grandma and Grandpa
    Frisella are now identified as "dad's mom" or "dad's dad".  She has
    figured out the relationship with sisters and such and has begun to
    identify them by relationship rather than by names.
    
    But, it was cute the first time she yelled out, "mom, your dad is on
    the phone!"  They grow up tooooo fast!
