Day #2566 (Thu., Jan. 12, 2017) – New Bamboo Bench
I drove Katie to Glenwood this morning. With the “Pink Eye” and “School Cancellations this has been the first time in about a week. Katie didn’t really want to go to school and I told her that there were a lot of things that aren’t really fun…but if we look around and are a bit creative we can make them fun. This lead to a discussion about arithmetic. I posed the idea of having a problem like 1 + 2. Instead of just viewing this as a number problem you could imagine that one animal, say for example a rabbit, needed some food. What two food items would they be? Katie answered a carrot and a lettuce. All-in-all then you have one animal and two food sources so the number of items is “3”… I saw her face light up.
My wife got a new bamboo bench from Amazon today. It is in the entrance way where the shoes are (see photo to the left).
Katie had her dance class this afternoon. No mention of what sort of Mary Poppins dances they will be doing in June.
When I got home from work this evening Bobby came up to me and gave me a bit hug. She spent the rest of the evening following me around like a little puppy dog. When I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water he cried and cried as he thought I was going to work.
When I was playing with Bobby this evening I put a little pony figure on one of his Hot Wheels cars and sent it down the track. He got a real kick out of that.
