May 25: Find that Animal!

Each Wednesday I suggest games to Ty and he's just not that interested in them.  Today, though, a "game" just kind of happened.  Brielle had a doctor's appointment today and of course, Ty was there, too.  While we were waiting for the doctor to come in, Ty noticed the wallpaper in the room.  It was based on the Noah's Ark Bible story and had pairs of animals portrayed...but in a more abstract form.  He initiated the game by asking me if I saw the elephants.  So we took turns asking each other to find different animals.  Some were familiar like the elephants, giraffes, birds, etc., but I was surprised to find that Ty knew ostriches and other more not-as-common animals.  Sometimes it's the child-initiated, on-the-spot fun that beats any plan I may come up with.
