I'm sure there should be a Christmas post here, somewhere. But, we aren't the best at blogging, especially during the busy holiday season.
I did want to share my latest game with Lex. When Alayna was little my mom made a simple matching game with coloured squares of felt. I don't know why I wait so long to start playing this game with my kids. Each one has LOVED matching the colours.
It took me matching a couple of squares before Lex caught on to the idea. Then he became a master - without teasing me by matching the wrong colours. Bonus, he tries to repeat the colour name after I say it.
After each match he would say, "Yeah, I did it!" while raising his arms. When all the pieces were matched he came at me for a big hug with more cheering and then sat down to play it again.
