Thanks to the glorious wonders of the internet, I've discovered a fun new game to play with the girls. I call it "Find the Singing Poo(h)". It's quite simple. We have a lovely Pooh bear that has a music box in it (see graphic above), one of those pull-the-string type deals; finding this item is the goal of the game, and results in hugs. Not finding it will bring scorn and shame to the player, ie. Lily. The game is: we usher the girls to the dining room, one of us hides the Pooh, and then we turn them loose to find it. Lily especially loves the game. Abby seems to get it, but I think she loses interest pretty quickly. She'll wander in, listen for the music, then see something interesting, which she'll then pick up and likely cram in her mouth.
So far, I'm quite impressed with their ability to find the pooh. I've hidden it in some pretty crafty locations, and they come through almost every time. If you have kids in this age bracket, I highly recommend this lovely activity. It has Pooh in it!
The girls' cute moment of the night was Lily feeding Abby mashed potatoes on her finger during dinner. Lily will get a dollop on her digit, then begin chanting, "Abs...Abs...Abs." (It's wicked cute that she calls her that, which she picked up from us doing it) Finally the blonde one looks over, sees the potatoes and leans in. This pivotal stage always finds them quiet with concentration, each one straining to find their mark. When there is a successful transfer, they both erupt with laughter. Can't go wrong with that.
Day two hundred and eighty four.
Just make sure Abby doesn't try to bite the hand that feeds her... ;)
