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!
