"Late-Talking Children" Thomas Sowell

Published research indicates that male hormones promote the kinds of brain functions involved in abstract spatial conceptions and mathematics. This is also consistent with test results in which males outnumber females by 13 to 1 among those rare junior high school students who can score 700 or higher on the mathematics portion of the Scholastic Aptitude Test.
In the light of this, it is hardly surprising that our group of late-talking children with special analytical abilities is overwhelmingly male.

Thank you Ami!

MEME instructions: Give the meaning of your kids’ names, and write about what or how or why you gave the name to your kids. Tag five people to play along and leave a comment at their blog to let them know they have been tagged.

Sydney Danielle: While I was pregnant we were searching for names. We were huge Party of Five fans at the time and were so excited when Neve Campbell was in Scream. Her character's name was Sidney Prescott and we kind of both looked at each other and were like, hmmm Sydney is a good name... He had wanted to name her Danielle because Daniel Boone is his relative, but I knew she'd be made fun of, so we agreed to make it her middle name. Originally we were gonna call her "Danni" but it just ended up being Sydney.

Allyson Elizabeth: While I was growing up I always wanted a daughter named Jacquelynn Elizabeth, but Charles didn't like the name Jacquelynn. The day I was scheduled to go into the hospital to be induced we were watching Everybody Loves Raymond and a lightbulb went off when they were talking about their daughter, Ally. Later that night we were sitting in TGIFridays talking about names and such as we were down to the wire and agreed that Allyson was a good name, and it fit well with Elizabeth.

Trey: well, Trey's name was much easier to decide on. We had agreed way back when I was pregnant with Syd that if she had been a boy, her name was going to be Charles William III. So by the time we HAD a boy the name wasn't really an issue. BUT, what to call him WAS an issue. The baby would be the 4th living Charles in our family (my husband is a Jr, and my dad is a Charles III). So the usual nicknames were already taken... When I was in high school I was really good friends with a guy named Trey and he was a "third" and his parents called him "Trey" for "three". I loved that idea, so we decided we'd confuse everyone and name the baby Charles William but call him Trey! :-) Can't wait for school to have to explain that one all the time hahahaha...

MEME #2

I've been TAGGED again. :-)

8 random things:

1. I graduated from Indiana State University with a BA in English, and minors in both linguistics and psychology. Before that, I was at Purdue University with plans to study Pharmacology.

2. My favorite colors are black and purple.

3. The coolest bookstore I've ever been to is the Barnes and Nobles at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. This is twice the fun, because the Hard Rock Cafe is in the same building.

4. Speaking of HRC... This is something we try to visit on every trip we take. So far, I have been to the following:
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Washington, D.C.
Baltimore, Maryland
San Francisco, California
Chicago, Illinois
Hollywood, Florida
Indianapolis, Indiana
Orlando, Florida

5. I am totally addicted to the Internet...

6. I currently have my ears pierced (1x), and my tongue pierced. Over the years, I've had my ears done 3x each, and my nose pierced.

7. I have 2 tattoos. A vine with hearts on my right wrist and a tribal on the nape of my neck.

8. Like Marigold, I think it would be awesome to just be buried in the ground without all the fuss... But since that probably won't happen, I want to be cremated. Charles and I both want to do without the funeral and have a party instead where people can eat, drink, and celebrate why they liked having us around, not crying about how we are dead. BUT IF MY FAMILY INSISTS ON A FUNERAL: I want NO funeral music, I want stuff that I liked to listen to playing...

MEME #1

I've been TAGGED!!

Here are my facts:
1. Before I was a SAHM, I worked in Student Financial Aid for over 7 years.
2. I am not really into celebrity gossip, but for some reason I read PerezHilton.com like 40x/day!
3. I love to bake homemade bread
4. I've only voted once - when I was 18
5. When I turned 18 my mom took me to buy a lottery ticket for my birthday
6. I consider myself a good listener
7. My two favorite shows are House and Grey's Anatomy

To those who've Tagged Me...

I will get the two MEMEs done tomorrow. I just didn't want you to know that I hadn't forgotten about you gals!! :-)
