My kids are playing library. They have to whisper and they've been playing happily for about the last half hour. They thought of this on their own but I'll definitely be reminding them of this fabulous activity in the future.
At times I get a glimpse of how my 5-year-old's thinking really is more advanced than my 3-year-old's. While playing library, he kept asking her when the book was due. And she kept repeating, "it doesn't DO anything unless you read it. It's just a book." He kept asking. She kept answering, each time emphasizing different words and so frustrated that he just didn't get it. They make me smile. They're playing happily and quietly; they're funny, and even the baby gets to play (sit in the room and get handed baby books to chew on).
Another noteworthy thing happened today, my son lost his first tooth! I wasn't expecting this yet. I hadn't thought through the whole tooth fairy thing. Trying to be purposeful, I'd at least like to think it through before automatically doing it. Input or variations on the whole tooth fairy thing are welcome. :)
