Today the kids and I played in a tent inside the house. Normally we use it outside in the summer but since the winter days have kept up cooped up inside alot we needed a change of scenery. Jake and Casey turned their tent into a spaceship. They quickly decided they needed to stock up on supplies. They grabbed flashlights, books, a large canister of playdoh and playdoh accessories, a cash register with money, and a stool. All the essentials you'll need while in space. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, Blast Off! The two of them played very nicely with each other in their make believe universe. I'm thinking they may be turning a corner and I have hope that Jake and Casey can actually play with EACH OTHER without a major fight breaking out every couple of minutes (as the case has been up until now).
Later in the morning I suggested that we make planets to decorate the living room. This sparked an idea in Jake's head to create the Planet Yubba (he get's this from a computer game he plays on noggin.com). He also said that we needed to make 6 other planets. I got out the paper, markers, glue, glitter, scissors, hole punch and yarn. Jake and Casey each decorated their planets and watched with excitement as I tied the yarn to them and hung them from the ceiling. We named our first one Planet Yubba and to follow that trend we named the rest of the planets Bubba, Nubba, Abba, Zubba, Grubba and Dubba.
Jake had one last idea. He said on his computer game their is a robot named ROBOTCHA that we can battle with. I suggested we make her out of Mega Blocks. Casey helped and made her own little version of a robot and we called it ROBBIE. It was a fun day with my little astronauts.
