It Takes Some Serious Concentration

Yesterday we got the Big Toy Book from Toys-R-Us in the newspaper. The kids each got their own because I get 5 Sunday newspapers which was great. We started out having Josh and Daniel share, but there was way too much fighting. We gave them a pen and let them circle all the toys they liked. That seriously kept them busy the WHOLE day. Looking at the toy book now I can see why it took all day--every toy is circled. I asked why Daniel circled so many dolls. He said because he knew Sarah would like them so much so he circled them for her. The first picture is Daniel placing the pen studiously behind his ear. Where do kids pick these things up? Since her brothers were all busy and not wanting to play Sarah went and put herself to sleep perched right in the middle of the stairs.
