Baby Play: Tokyo

Scott went to see a movie a few weeks ago about giant robots fighting giant sea monsters (or kaiju).  He loved it.  The rest of our family really loves the game he made up, inspired by the movie.

First, all able-bodied members of our family make towers and houses out of kapla blocks.


Then the fun begins.  Scott holds up Sven, talking in his gruff baby voice, and makes him say menacing things in Japanese.  (Watashi wa kaiju!)  He helps the baby to walk through the kapla buildings, smashing them as he goes.  Scott makes the sound effects as well: giant rumbling footsteps and horrible roars.  The older boys laugh and I snap pictures.


We have played this game for the past two FHE nights.  Scott, Soren, Carl, and I really get a kick out of it; Sven doesn't seem to care much either way.  But he seems to be getting into the spirit of it here in this picture:


Tasty Tokyo!

STRATEGY:  My plan was to sit Soren on the toilet once a day and read him a couple of stories.  If he peed, I was planning to give him a candy. THE BAD NEWS:  The candy totally backfired.  The one time that he peed on the toilet, I gave him a candy and he had a full-on tantrum begging for more.  If I ever told him "When you pee on the potty, you can have a candy", he would begin screaming for the treat and be unable to focus on the toilet training. THE GOOD NEWS:  Soren was not afraid of sitting on the big toilet.  He actually really enjoyed it (when I was reading stories and not pimping rewards) and started asking to sit there any time his butt was bare.

February 10 - 16

* I thoroughly enjoyed reading Skyward. * Soren beat Megaman 1 without dying. * Carl was swamped with art homework.  His teacher assigned him 5 mini-paintings, 30 gradients, and 1 shading. * Sven finished reading the Frog and Toad  treasury. * Leif talked a lot about wanting to make a friend. * Richard got to listen to lots and lots of read-a-louds.
