It's not a good thing.
So I've been trying to come up with good activities and interesting things for us to do, inside, in the afternoons. Because of course, who wants to play with billions of cool toys? What's the point of even buying toys? Sometimes I wonder.
So anyway, Kari (Kris's sister) made us this great family concentration game last Christmas, and I almost forgot that we had it because a lot of stuff got put away in our move last spring and has never been pulled out. But I found it the other day and Max was really excited to play it.
Kari's got pictures of every member of our immediate family (including Sultan) on these cards, and on the back it says "Max's family matching game." He was especially excited that the cards had his name on them, since he recognizes his written name nowadays.
I just love the whole concept of this game. Since we live so far away from most of the family it's really good to review everybody's names. That's not a problem for him right now, he pretty much remembers everybody just fine, but last Christmas he didn't, so it was great to get to talk about everybody.
So thanks to Kari for having the great idea to make this game, and for taking the time to make sure everybody on both sides of the family is on it.
We'll be spending some frigid hours playing it waiting for spring to come. Anybody want to come and play it with us?
