Hide-And-Go-Seek

Lil G, hamming it up while playing with daddy.  He was hiding underneath a blanket.

Memory

 Lil G has recently rediscovered a love for the game, "Memory".  It is wonderful because it is a game that he can primarily play by himself, with no help needed from mama or dada....though he does LIKE to try and get everyone else to play.  We are still working on learning the rules (primarily the one about turning the cards back over if they do not match), but overall, he is doing great!

 "Look mama!  I got a match!"

Lil Helper

Lil G was asking over and over again on Saturday morning if I would play Candyland with him.  I told him that I would as soon as I finished making breakfast and asked him to get the game set up.  This is what I walked into.

Notice that he had extracted and lined up all the "jump ahead" cards.  He was so proud that everything was ready to go!  Only minor fixing required.

Candyland

On Friday, mama and Lil G were playing a game that he had clearly outgrown.  He was doing the version for six year olds!  So, mama dug out a new game to teach the manbaby:  Candyland!  

Lil G was so excited to learn a new game and even more excited to "teach" dada when he came home.  He did a great job learning the rules, waiting his turn, counting, using his colors and was even a good "loser".  He is growing up quickly and is definitely becoming the little person that we had always hoped he would become. 

Hide-N-Seek

Many evenings, after dada gets home from work, he and Lil G play a rousing game of hide-n-seek.  Lil G is getting much better- he is able to count (almost) alone, he is able to find dada pretty well and he even finds his own hiding places!  It's so wonderful to see him learn new things.

 

"Look mama!  I found dada"

 Lil G found his own hiding spot!
