Hi Guys,
I’m very impressed with my little boy Jake; the other day we were sitting in the car waiting for my wife and decided to play a game.
The game we decided to play was snakes and ladders, which is on my phone. What you need to do is touch the screen to get the dice up and the shake the phone to roll the dice, which to be fair; to a two year old is never that straight forward.
For the first few goes I had to help him, I directed his finger and helped him shake the phone, but by the 4th go he had it. When it was his go he was touching the screen and saying “Daddy I did it!” Then he would shake the phone again saying to me “Daddy I did it!” He did this every time!
To my horror, my 2 year old boy then went on to beat me 2 games to 1!!!!
After this, we went up to a nearby garden centre to have lunch and look at the Christmas stuff (link is Dobbies garden centre); to go along with the Christmas theme, they had their decorations up and they also had people walking around in pantomime outfits.
Mia decided that she couldn’t take her eyes off of one person, who was dressed up as a cow, but Jake decided that if he didn’t look at them, they weren’t there and decided to stare in the opposite direction whenever they came near us!
Whilst we were there we had a lovely roast dinner, which Jake enjoyed (Mias still too young); but I must have visited the toilet at least 10 times with Jake, which was no mean feat as it meant going past the cow!
The other thing that they have there is an area where they have fish and lizards, for some reason every time Jake poked his tongue out at a couple of the lizards, they started running back and forth in their tank getting over excited, I think Jake thought this was the funniest thing in the world.
Thanks
Darren
