We've recently helped Mike's mom with two different yard sales. Jackson loves them and asked me today when we can have the next one. At first this puzzled me... why does he love them so much?? Then I realized...he equates yard sales to getting stuff from grandma. You see, grandma's house used to be filled with EVERYTHING from daddy's childhood... star wars stuff, cowboy stuff, action figures, hotwheels, books, etc etc. Not to mention that she is a retired teacher from many years of teaching and has a wealth of children's books and movies. Every time we go there Mike and Jackson come home with an old treasure for Daddy and new treasure for Jack. As her house empties, ours is filling up.... But that's another story.
This past weekend, we toted home a large bin of children's books, including several read-along books with tapes. I had to introduce him to a cassette tape and how it works. He loves listening to these!
Mike also brought home "The Uncle Wiggily Game". The object of this very old game (copyright 1967) is to help Uncle Wiggily Longears get to Dr. Possum's house so he can be cured of his rheumatism. No joke! It cracks me up! First one to Dr. Possum wins. On the way he has many adventures as he hops through the forest - similar to Candyland. Jackson loves playing this game, although much of the language is way over his head.
