Well, I got a quick, "Wait, don't do that" when I pulled away
the tissue
box from Tristan's grasp. Kat told me he needs to
learn by just hearing the
word, "No." I sat back with a mumbled,
"Sorry..." but they said it was
okay. Almost like on
instinct for me to take it away.
~Actually, you were doing the right thing.
Even better would be to offer him a substitute thingy, like his rattle in
exchange, and distract him from the the thing you don't want him to have.
Kat's wrong. The LAST thing you want to do is have the baby hear "no" over
and over. The fewer "no's" you say the better.... but was there any reason
for him *not* to have the tissue box? I mean, could he actually have hurt
himself with it? Ok, I'm gonna go wandering off into a lecture on
developmental psychology any minute now so I'll shut up.....
~GW...if the
whole world would just listen to ME we'd all be so much better off...

Josh reminds me sooo much of Raph because he doesn't act
all cutesy around
him. He acts...funny! He's changed his
diapers, voices of the smelly ones,
but he just does it! The kid
amazes me of how having a child in one's life
can make you grow up so
fast.

Yeah! I saw that one! That was too
cute! It's like, "Daddy! You need to
use Dial!"
Tristan will go to anyone who takes him and he LOVES having his
picture
taken! I took some recent ones of him. Whenever a girl holds
him,
he likes to grab for their boob! Josh is like, "That's my
boy!"

Oh...that was called "The Night Watchturtle"
and I based it on some
experiences with a friend's 13-month old named
Lily. She is absolutely
darling, looks like a little Japanese
baby doll. Don figured it'd be easy
to baby-sit for less than an
hour tops. Plus, Splinter was there incase he
needed him.
But then, some bad people were aware of April's inheritance
(from her
father) and set up some sort of ransom with Splinter and Shadow to
get
it from her. I remember reading up on Central Park and the
Bethesda
statue as I worked on it. The story was only a short but
it was kind of fun
to write. Loved making Don, the perfect, a
klutz!

Yeah! That was
like that other commercial when the kid stuck the oatmeal
into the
machine, thinking if it can work going in the mouth, it'll work
going
in the VCR! I always pictured Shadow being a little angel or what
Leo
said in issue #4, a little pumpkin! I had to giggle at that
because that's
a name my grandmother called us and now says it to
Tristan. I also pictured
Shadow as being the behavioral type,
obeying her parents at all times. I
would obey everyone,
too. Hanging around 4 ninja masters, I don't think I'd
want to
upset anyone, either!
