Fun times

[mattblakk]

Blake has a tent that is shaped like a car that fits over a twin mattress. I have it sitting on top of the full sized futon in the living room and we are having fun watching vocabulary DVDs on the ibook in the tent.

When I got into the tent Blake said, "We are in the tent."

Oh, yeah.

The ibook came back on Friday. Who knew the service would be so quick?

That tent sounds cool. You must post a picture of this sometime.

That sounds very nice, and what a complete sentence there from Blake!

When I was Blake's age, I had a big cardboard tepee that my father would put up for me in the living room on snowy/rainy/mom-is-sick days. He provided me with a manual Royal typewriter that he'd had in college and typing paper to play with. Tap, tap, tap. No DVDs.

I always wonder with my kids what things they will remember like that -- like I so distinctly remember the smell and touch and sounds inside of that tepee, or hiding inside the cloth-covered Jungle Book tunnel, or just the feel and smell of the shag carpeting in my parents' house. Maybe Blake will be all about the car tent.

Nice sentence from Blake!

Makes sense that Blake likes the tent. Most kids do, but especially for him. I would imagine that it's far less overwhelming. There are less cues to get overwhelmed about, and the environment is easier to control.
