Grandma Vows to Use Bullets
My 30 something children have encouraged me to write concisely online. To be fair, even my teachers used to tell me that I am a bit wordy. Bullets and lists, the kids tell me, are the secret to success on the Internet, and I have noticed that many blogs are filled with this style of entry. I keep reminding these helpful readers that I am from the generation that was forced to put all writing in a full sentence. I have to admit that even when I make a Power Point for my classroom, I have a hard time trying to figure out if or where I should put punctuation. So, never being one to shy away from the current way of doing things, I present to you a new entry category called " Nona's Lists". Here is my first:
Five Things I Learned The First Time My 2 Year Old Granddaughter Spent the Night
Well that was painless. Think I'll try writing a list entry once a week!

Five Things I Learned The First Time My 2 Year Old Granddaughter Spent the Night
- Don't expect a child to take a nap half an hour after they arrive at your house even if it is nap time.
- Make sure that any DVD you pick up at a yard sale that has "Sesame Street" in the title, has a segment called "Elmo's World", or it just won't pass for the real Sesame Street.
- Make sure you bring the special "Dora Bath Towel" into the bathroom before you put the child into the tub (can you say "wet"?).
- Once she finally gets to sleep, never check on the child so many times that you wake her up!
- Make sure you get lots of sleep the night before, just in case you screw up on number four.
Well that was painless. Think I'll try writing a list entry once a week!
