Things 1 & 2 were sitting at different computers, on different floors of our house. I walked by Thing 1 and asked her what she was up to “Just playing checkers”.
I went up the stairs and checked on Thing 2… Same thing.
They were playing checkers against each other, online… in the same house.
I appreciated that relationship dynamic, as my brothers and I play games online frequently. But I had to point out that they were in the same house…
After dinner they played checkers again… this time with a real board and the dining room table.
Another totally unrelated story…
Earlier in the day, I had placed groceries in the back entryway. I stepped away from that project for a moment, then came back to find that “Thing 3” (our 2 year old) had taken all the boxed items to the kitchen and had organized them in (mostly) order by size.
Here is a Photo.
And with that photo, I one again endeavor to take on the “Photo of the Day” project.
I will try to shoot and post 1 photo from the day.
Most likely with my phone (as above), but I will try to fit one or two shots with a decent camera as well.
How does your wife feel about referring to your children as “Things?” 🙂
Oh, she understands! It is an endearing reference to the Characters from ‘The Cat in the Hat’ who tore up he house (Thing 1 and Thing 2)
That’s quality literature right there!
