last night we played jacks (which i don’t think i’ve ever done before and it wasn’t all that successful, but who cares!) and we played several rounds of old maid. it was cute to see Carter’s pokerface when i knew he’d drawn the old maid card. maybe he’ll grow up to be a professional card shark ;-) he also wanted to help make dessert. he can be such a good helper (at times!). at bed time we read from a book of poems about animals, some that were cute and some that were convoluted (those were the ones by well known poets!). about one that Emily Dickenson had written about a snake, he wanted to know if that was a true story or not. interesting question when posed to a poem. he wanted to keep the book in bed with him as he often does with the books we read at bedtime. he was delighted to discover a couple poems we had missed (as we were skipping around in the book), one about ducks and one about “beasts and birds” that he’s already reserved a spot for in tonight’s reading time.
