Tiffanie says they get along really well when they play with building-type toys. But they tend to bicker a lot more when they play cars or Grosseries.
Every day we play the bird matching game at least once, usually more than once. He notices birds and pictures of birds now. He noticed how many cardinals GG had in her house last week, on her rug, some of her figurines were cardinals, and some in her kitchen. If he sees birds he asks what kind of bird it is. He then says whether it's in the bird matching game or not. When we play the game, when we're down to the last match, we have to guess what the match is before flipping it over. Sometimes we know right off the bat, but other times we lay out all the cards that each of us has and then we go through the little pamphlet that came with the game and turn over each bird as Nico calls it. When he gets to the bird that neither of us has, we have found the last match! There was once we separated all the females from the males on either side of the table, that was fun.
On Saturday Guy took Nico to the library and they had trains there!
Nico has been reading Bird and Squirrel comics. Guy has been reading him an interesting and gross book about mummies. He has been watching the movie Coraline on the iPad, that and the new Garfield cartoon and Pokemon. Guy and Nico have been playing video games downstairs, he played Super Mario Kart for the first time. Guy later told me that he thinks we started Nico playing video games too LATE! hah. Nico gets frustrated and walks away when he can't play well, Guy's reasoning is that if he was younger he would just push buttons and not care :)
On Wednesday I did a chalk mural on the wall at Awakenings Coffee House. They have an artist wall and local artists can do murals and they keep them up on the wall for a month. It took me four hours but it was super fun. They gave me free tea! And a free latte for Guy as I was leaving.
