Man, up at 4 which is WAY above my comfort level. Especially since I’m used to going to bed at midnight, and you know what? It doesn’t work to get in bed at 10 and command yourself to fall asleep. So four short hours of shuteye and over eight hours in a plane and airports – just to get to Grand Junction! Now it’s 6 pm but it might as well be midnight.
So my AEDM entry for today, November 6, is a few photos of my grandkids having fun with the Egg Game. While I was in Pismo I found a cute game with plastic spoons, plastic eggs and bean bag yokes – you remember racing balancing eggs in teaspoons? This version is much less messy. So today’s AEDM is Kid Concentration.
Annabelle is five. Five concentrates intensely and understands the objective of the game.
Jackson is four. He started out slowly and concentrated hard. He went from the living room to the kitchen, ran back to the living room, and did it again.
This isn’t so hard after all!
Wow, Jacks realizes he can actually walk the other way too. Now it’s time for two-year-old Cooper to enter the egg races.
No worries about concentration or doing it right. Two is pure joy and excitement.
Well, maybe a little concentration helps. Cooper took her shirt off in Wal-Mart by the way, and wouldn’t put it back on.
Oh well, forget concentration. Just enjoy the shapes and colors. As I write, they are all three still running around with spoons and eggs. I had a hunch this would be a good purchase!
Tomorrow, when I’m alive again, we’ll do a little more about creativity and art every day month. And for those of you wondering more about what AEDM is, check out Leah’s blog and web site. All your questions will be answered PLUS you can join in!
What a good idea and a great game for the kids. They all look like they’re having a wonderful time (and, they’re also very cute!). nancy
