Comments on: Pincer Grip http://whittereronautism.com/2008/07/pincer-grip/ Coffee breaks in Cyberspace For when you want something short and sweet, but light on saccharin [translation = Aspartame] Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:35:30 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Janet http://whittereronautism.com/2008/07/pincer-grip/comment-page-1/#comment-15394 Janet Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:46:49 +0000 http://whittereronautism.com/?p=733#comment-15394 I used to have a miniature pinscher; his name was Chibi :-) We were out walking in the woods one day and came across a small boy with his Dad. Chibi loved kids and ran up to him (now Chibi was tiny, about 8 lbs). The man and I spoke while the boy petted Chibi and the dad asked, "What kind of dog is that?" to which I replied, "A miniature pinscher." At once the boy stopped petting Chibi and whispered to his dad: "I don't want him to pinch me!" Thanks for letting me remember Chibi :-) I used to have a miniature pinscher; his name was Chibi :-) We were out walking in the woods one day and came across a small boy with his Dad.

I mean, I had some shrimp from Canaveral Seafoods, about a month after Challenger went in. Krista was delicious, but I seem to have gotten more squeamish lately. Oh, BTW, did y'all know that one of the reasons they just gave up and left everybody in USS Arizona was, that by the time they were starting to bring the bodies up, the crabs had eaten off all of the fingers with the prints on them, and there was no way to identify the bodies?

I think my boys can do this because there are so many things they are reluctant to touch. Only one of them can feed himself with a spoon,, though! I like the crab photo.

You made it for Special Exposure. You worked the camera, posted the photo, linked and everything. You did good. :) I love the crab shot! And we have heard about and worked on the pincer grip for a lifetime. I was always stunned that as a preschooler Wil could pinch his brothers and draw blood, but the pincer grip alluded him. Yay!
