Where’s the baby?

On Thanksgiving Day, we went to visit my sister-in-law and family. She just bought a new baby monitor and had it on top of her TV. When the baby started crying through the monitor, P looked around the room, trying to find the baby. Then his eyes rested on the TV, and his looked changed from one of curiousity to one of concern. He looked around at everybody in the room and said, “Is the baby in the TV?” I took a few minutes to explain to him how a baby monitor works, and his look of concern eased. I’m not sure he was completely at ease until he saw his satisfied little cousin, who now had a full tummy!! The innocence of a 3 year old!!

A Neato Toddler

Today, Ph ate some Skittles and ended up with a colorful painting on the front of his cream shirt. It was probably there for an hour before he looked down and said, “Something on my shirt.” He proceeded to get a piece of toilet paper and attempt to wash it off his shirt. He got really frustrated when it would not come off, but finally gave up when I told him we would get it off in the washing machine. I was just wondering, do I finally have a child that has a desire to be neat? I won’t get my hopes up yet, he’s only 2 and could change his mind! It was cute regardless!

Who turned out the lights?

Just a little something cute! This morning we were all sitting around the living room doing various things (T, AM, P, Ph) when the sun went behind a cloud. P jerked his head up and said, “Hey! Did the window go off?” Of course, I explained to him that the sun had gone behind a cloud. He seemed satisfied. It was so cute, though!

Hide the Snake

We came up with a fun game. We call it hide the snake. We hid a long stuffed snake of P’s. It is neat to hide the snake because it can be rolled up and put in a small place or stretched out and placed across a curtain rod or on a ceiling fan. The snake had to be hidden in a place where it could be seen without moving anything. AM and P did pretty good at hiding it, but Ph would hide it and then show everybody where it was. I tried to arrange it so that P found it when Ph hid it b/c AM could find the harder ones. Ph actually found it several times! He was so excited when he did! When I hid it, I tried to take turns with the heights and where I put it, so that whoever had not found it in a while had a better chance of finding it! Of course, sometimes I had to make it more difficult (for my sake) by hiding it so that only a small part of it could be seen! If they had difficulty finding it, I would tell who was the closest or whether they had to look behind something. This game kept them entertained for about an hour!!
