Yesterday, Alyssa was playing with this game that Grandma Bev left with us where you are supposed to build caterpillars with different shapes. I came down to find this.When she saw me laugh and grab the camera, she was happy to pose for me.

I often wonder what is going through her head when she is playing. One day I played a "Mommy and Daddy Game" with her. It is one of those multi-game packs that has checkers, chess, chinese checkers, etc. I got a little peak into some of the things she thinks. This is how the game went. (We were playing chess)

"This guy is doing the magic trick...
These guys have to sit in their seats. The kids have to sit in front...(For some reason this picture isn't uploading the right way so you'll have to turn your head)
Now they all have to go up with the Magician...except the Mommies and Daddies... Now they need to go back to their seats..."

She went on like this for quite awhile bringing a dress-up slipper into the picture as a car at one point and also the baggie that holds the pieces. My pictures set-ups aren't nearly as elaborate as the way she sets them up, but I hope you get the point.

Kids are so funny!!

Right now Alyssa is playing with the chess board and pieces because she saw me take them out and take some pictures of them. And sure enough, she is moving them one by one from one side of the board to the other. Some of them are even going into the dress-up slippers.
