8/26/10 B Town Kids and Grandkids

When you play with kids, you have to step back and see what they need. Today, Xavier wanted to play with his Pokemon cards. He loves them. So I sat on the floor and helped him to organize his huge pile of cards. He found good cards --level x and e x--that he didn't know he had AND we relaxed together.

In the flow, a neighbor came by to borrow pasta and quess what-- she gave the rubber bands that we needed to put our piles of similar cards together.

I remembered to bring chocolate and a few jelly beans for each kid. When I was little, I lived with my grandparents. Every night, when he came home from work, my grandpa brought me a little colored pack of chicklets--two in a pack. It was always the same and I was always totally thrilled. Gramdpa loved me and the little pack of gum (two in a pack) told me it was true. Now I return the favor and the kids feel the love.
