New things are fun!

DAY 134 - May 14, 2009



Two important things in this picture...

1. Kaden and I played some math games from a kit he brought home from school. They have a nice little group of things all grouped together that the kids can "check out" for 2 days. Kaden told me he was lucky because his 2 days ended on Friday which means he gets extra days because he gets the weekend. We played a game where we added together the value of 3 different cards and the player with the highest points gets to keep all the cards. We also played a game where the card had pictures of coins on it. Each player turned over their card and added up the values - the person with the highest value on their card got both cards. As you can imagine, these games could go on forever so we played for a total of about 30 minutes. He really seemed proud of his math kit and is looking forward to playing some more.

2. Kaden has his new green blanket wrapped around him. Both boys were in desperate need of a new blanket they could use to sleep with. They have been surviving on the well loved but also well used and too small Bob the Builder blankets they both got when they were in day care and needed something for nap time. These blankets have seen a lot and are still in good enough shape to use. The problem? They were getting too short and wouldn't keep them completely covered at night. We went to Kohl's tonight and bought 2 new blankets - Kaleb's is blue and Kaden's green to match their rooms. They are really soft and cozy and are definitely big enough.
