Tuesday:Shadow Play

After some fresh air, Jackson and Tabitha tried a new game: shadow play. Tabitha caught on right away, if she moved, her shadow moved. Jackson was more distracted but eventually noticed and considered his shadow. It was an interesting insight into the mind of nearly nine month olds. I'm looking forward to games we'll play together as they get bigger. Right now our repertoire is limited. We roll the ball back and forth when we have another adult here, we sing or talk back and forth, Jackson is doing his version of "high-5" during bottles and we're drinking out of open cups. Of course it's all very rudimentary but engages their bodies and minds.
