Games
After dinner we asked Pierce and Anna what they would like to do for the evening. Pierce asked if we could play "Candyland". For those without small children (or never have been children), Candyland is a game that uses colored cards to indicate where the players should move. Its great for small children because there's no counting or spinners. Of course for adults its a little on the boring side.
Anna surprised us by, not only wanting to play, but actively participating for awhile. Eventually she was more interested in collecting the colored cards than moving her piece around the board, but it was a first for her. Pierce and I were the winners for the evening.
We finished off by introducing Anna to a Blue's Clues computer game. She needs a lot of help with the mouse (she doesn't quite have the manual dexterity) but was very good at all the educational games. Pierce helped "coach" her when she got stuck.
