Day #1818 (Fri., Dec. 26, 2014) – Pirate Sticker Book
As I was sitting on the Lazy Boy this afternoon Katie came over and sat on my lap. She said that since she was good to mommy and let her make her a grilled cheese sandwich she figured that she deserved something special. She said that perhaps we could go out and buy some arts & crafts. I told her that I didn’t want to leave my wife alone as she is sleeping so she settled on me giving her a present that I had stashed. It was a “Pirate Sticker Book”. I ended up making a picture of a pirate ship and island and we both took turn in putting the stickers in place (see photo to the left).
My wife and I were talking this afternoon how Katie enjoys being alone. Rather than play with her friends she enjoys spending time home reading and watching television, doing arts & crafts, and playing with Legos and “My Little Ponies”. She told me that she enjoyed reading when she was young. I was just like Katie.
We are finding that Katie’s explanations and excuses (like why she doesn’t need to go to bed) are getting more and more elaborate.
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY
——————–
1) Katie decided that she earned the right to go out and get crafts today as she let her mommy make her a grilled cheese sandwich.
