90 Weeks And Counting

It is now 90 weeks and counting since The Baby was born.  She still has a big personality, she is still beautiful, and she still refuses to say Mama.

I thought for sure this would be the week I would be able to officially announce the end of this post, but no.  The posts continue.  On the plus side I have discovered that The Baby has a wicked sense of humor.

How do I know the Baby has a sense of humor? This is how:

BREAKFAST TABLE - EARLY MORNING

It is early morning in any family kitchen USA- soft morning light filters through skylight above.  Cartoons are heard softly in the background.

Our view moves closer.  Sitting at a black, weathered kitchen table are two children.  One child is 4-years-old.  The other child is 90-weeks-old, The Baby.  A Mother crosses the room and sits down between the children.  She looks at The Baby.

MOTHER

What do you say we play a game? Can you say, "Hi Maddy?"

THE BABY

Hi Maddy!

THE MOTHER

Can you say, "Hi Mama?"

THE BABY

Hi Poo-poo!

The Mother glances at the 4-year-old.  The 4-year-old can't contain her laughter.

4-YEAR-OLD

She said hi Poo-poo!

The room is filled with laughter. Our view moves away. Scene fades to black.

Okay, so I am no screen writer.  Regardless, I think that pretty much paints an accurate picture for you.  I really tried not to embellish it too much.

Anyway, Despite this minor setback I am still feeling optimistic.  After all my 3-year-old is now potty trained and it felt like that would never happen either. Week 91 will be the week The Baby says Mama. I know it! I will keep you posted.

Interesting test. I scored 75% overall. If we weren't allowed to replay the sounds, I probably would've scored much lower. It took a few listens for some of them before I figured out the pattern.

I too got 95% - it's all to do with narrowing your choices from the ones given. I can't remember the one I got wrong, but there were quite a few I had to replay the sound on before I felt confident enough to click.
Still - good fun.

I don't know, I'd rather not do this. My synaesthesia is feeling a lot more restricted than it was before, but I feel that it will be worse if I try to match my synaesthesia, or use to think like, a certain person's own opinion of these sensations.

I don't think it's really synesthesia-based, nach. The symbols only really represent things like the pitch of the phrase (an upward arrow as the pitch rises) or two sounds played together (two symbols overlapping). To base such a test on synesthesia would be next to impossible, as it would be different for everyone.

I got a 90, but seeing as Frank is the only one who scored lower than what is considered "high-normal," I'm thinking this thing might not be as hard as it says it is.

I got 95...

Bean, it only matters if you actually are synesthetic, which I sort of doubt you are... the symbols don't have to match the music, you just have to remember that each symbol represents a different melody...and varies each time. It doesn't matter if they "match" or not. After all, for most of us, no melody sounds square...or triangular.

I didn't really understand it. Were we meant to match the music to the symbols using logic, or our instincts, or just what we thought best represented it? This is kind of like the scoring they use for experimentalism, but really basic. I didn't finish the test in the end, it just got on my nerves (and I'm usually really good at music... )

Let's see: for the scoring there's three categories that basically mean GREAT, one for NORMAL, and one for GOOD TRY.

Wouldn't want anyone to feel bad for scoring poorly on an abstract internet test.
