Knight Baby

Cole and Audrey got some very cool gifts for Christmas from their big sister, aunties, grandparents and parents. Thank you everyone! Audrey got a baby, crib and stroller and immediately it became clear that Cole wanted to play with them as much as she did. He invented a game called Knight Baby in an effort to merge two dissimilar interests. It mainly involves carrying the baby around while fighting an imaginary opponent with a sword.

We went to the cool educational toy store in town called Launching Success to buy Cole his very own baby today. Why wouldn't we want to encourage his desire to nurture? We also bought a hospital Lego construction kit. Thank you Grandpa and Tutu! I'm trying to get Cole interested in building stuff. He's more of a story teller by nature.

We called Grandpa and Tutu in Hawaii to tell them what we bought with the Christmas money and to thank them. Audrey wouldn't give up the phone - she had a lot to say. I finally suggested over her babbling that Richard just hang up when he was ready.





Knight Baby, the "sword" is actually a teacher's pointer Cole bought today using his allowance money. He has two chores - feed Tess and set the table for dinner.
