5/7 - "Mommy, we don't see people with spears too much."  Cell phones, yes, spears, no.

 

5/10 - I was doing some reading on the laptop and scrolling with the arrows.  First Jonathan noticed that when I pressed the down arrow, the page went up, and vice versa, and I explained to him why that was.  Then he noticed the blue letters on the key.  "It says, 'P...Up' "  Yes! Pg Up. I didn't really realize it until later, but he actually read the word 'up' instead of spelling it first!

 

He's been asking to play "grown-up games" recently.  Yesterday, we got down Boggle, and he really had a fun time with it.  Lookout, Langdons, here he comes!  I thought that at the Maggie P, he could really play with us, writing down the letters that he sees and getting one point per letter.  He even placed the blocks in and made his own "words" and copied them down onto the papers.

All right! That's the way to go, Jonathan! We have a tradition of handicapping the youngest players, though we've never had anyone as young as three, as far as I know. I like the one point per letter idea.

Anyway, I really like that quote: "people with spears" haha!

What do you mean when you say the "comment format changed"?
