Today I got one of my favorite catalogues in the mail, Rainbow Resources. The boys anxiously looked over my shoulder as I flipped through oohing and ahhing on every page. In a stroke of genius I told Liam that for his handwriting today he could look through the catalogue all on his own and write out his list. He took such care going over every page, carefully determining which toys would actually be worth the effort of writing it down, and in the end I have a page with 8 items. (he is NOT a fan of writing).
Wanting Finnigan to have a chance to look I gave him a green crayon and told him to circle what he would like. He tore through the catalogue eagerly circling anything that pictured an airplane or dinosaur and then some. It makes me smile. I wonder just how much longer Liam's list would be if I let him use Finnigan's method.
