This Year
So much has happened in the last year, and I’ve not chosen to give much focus to writing here, but rather have kept a video and image log. I will begin creating posts from these as the demand for my arms, and one handed typing decreases in the coming months. Here’s a quick blurb from […]
Grandparents, Gravity, Goodies, and Dessine
Will complete this entry when I have the mind to get all the images together. Tinker Crate with Grandpa – they did the fiber optics constellations and the defy gravity game Grandpa tuned the piano and Lily has become fascinated with not only playing but watching the mechanics. Today she stated she’s going to […]
The 5 Emotions, So Far….
In wrapping up the depression that set in for Lily during the month of February, which was relieved by a bottle of oils (empowering her to provide herself a calming stimulant), Russ and I sorting through some rather tough stuff, some candid discussions with her about sympathetic symptoms and experiences – and differentiation between her […]
Let the Complaining Begin…
I’ve encouraged Lily to work on typing skills… We are presently going through this program: hhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/z3c6tfr#zgkpn39 She’s bored. I described my 8th grade Keyboarding class, 1st period, already knowing how to type, with Mr. DRONE-n-SLEEP. Literally, he’d tell us to sit, cover our hands, flip to page, get through page, and then he’d sit and drink […]

Warm seeding Cold seeding The question we now have is, if the water […]
Modding is Hotdogs
Meet the Emotionutties Today, we started using Code Studio… Minecraft was our first project. This is her initial intro to Blockly. This is what the blocks of code look like when shown in text. My mom types faster so she’s going to type what I say to write. I made a dinner plate with […]
Programming, Continued
Lils is using Khan to learn Javascript. She wants to make a mod for Minecraft that includes her favorite little green alien, Om Nom. We’ve worked on this for a couple days now, and she’s decided to pull out her Chromebook and work on programming and creating independently. First are some shots of what she […]
Learning Javascript – Making My Om Nom Mod
Algeria, Texas, Scale, Ratio, and the United States-Faster
Lils is diving into the Stack the Countries game, which not only focuses on global location/geogrpahy, but also political facts, information, languages, and customs. For every 8 or so questions she answers accurately, she is awarded another country across the globe. So far, she has about 20 countries, giving her at least one within every continent. […]
