I've been thinking about such issues lately in regards to teens' identity development within a summer program I spent time with in 2006. I started using Stanton Wortham's notion of "trajectories of identification" to look at how teens position themselves and are positioned by others in ways that relate to their identity in the program, and their identities outside the program. I found your perspective helpful to add to this mix, because it explains why people are sometimes uncomfortable at appearing to move along a new and therefore scary "positive trajectory". I think you’re onto something here, Natalie.

Burdicks site that shows the birthday cake, but calls it <a href="http://www.burdickchocolate.com/recipes-item1.asp" rel="nofollow">Sacher Torte</a>. So it probably is a close cousin to the Dobos Torte. New! I just found this recipe on the L.A. Burdicks site that shows the birthday cake, but calls it Sacher Torte.

He has reported that he was going to dream about rocks (and then that night, he talked a bit in his sleep, and it seemed like he said something about rocks), but this week he dreamt twice about "art parties." We went to two openings this week, and after he one he reported in the morning that he had dreams about the "art parties." He didn't say much about the dream, except that we were all there together - something that doesn't happen that much. I don’t hear too much about Oskar’s dreams.

Meetings are a waste unless I can be doing something - I usually fill a whole page with doodles (and, actually, even if the scribbles don't have anything to do with the meeting content, they can still usually jog my memory of what we were talking about.

One of the things he says (that connects with your interesting entry here) is that some children - maybe many children - concentrate better if they're allowed to move around. That's true of a lot of adults too, isn't it? So many people pace around when they think or write. Too bad so many classrooms still require kids to sit still and not move at all.
