The Games We Play

Bean has been devising new games to keep himself busy these last few days. Here are a few of them:

sticky note pad: He has discovered sticky notes. He'll take one and put it on your head, wait a second and then put it on his. He'll giggle for a few seconds as he runs away. After he's out of sight he'll run back and start all over again.

Stealing food from his cousin: Natalie and Bean eat at different times of the day (she's a night owl and he's an early riser). So typically Bean's done with his food before Natalie has started hers. The way he plays this game is that he will run
up to Natalie while she is sitting in the high chair and wait for her to drop food in his mouth. He'll run away and wait till she calls for him. She calls him Geg-gee. Then it starts all over again till he looses interest or she runs out of food. We've found this is the only way for us to get him to eat veggies.

London Bridges: No matter what you are doing Bean will walk over, push your legs apart and walk under. He'll circle around and go again and again till he's tired of the game. Some days this makes cleaning the house take longer than it should.
