nate was busy this morning. busy making his christmas present for jesus...he called us in to show us his "birthday present for baby jesus"

yep. under ware. "nap" under wares (why i am holding on to them???) on top of his blankets. i asked him if he was giving away his blankets to jesus he said "NO! those are for ME" i asked him why are they on the table then?

then he lifted them to show me the rest of jesus's birthday present... what's hidden under the blankets? sock of course...haha. he cracks me up

i asked him this morning, what he wants for christmas. he said "a baby brother. not a sister but a brother" i asked him if a sister would be ok, he said" a babe sister? for meeee? ok...but i want a brother first" haha. keep praying kiddo (which he does btw)

and no. we are not pregnant

moving on...

i was reading an article about strengthening a child's memory and dimensional thinking so i came up with this

i cut pics out of mag's, cut them in 1/2, then glued on separate paper leaving a good 3" break

and made a memory game

"these match"

voila. the 3" or so separation is suppose to boost their thinking/memory and makes it harder than a typical memory game

he liked it. it was a bit harder for him, he did need help on a few of the pic's to put in order

best of all, it's free!
