charades

Tonight was one of those great family nights in our home.  Brook worked all day, but when she returned we ate dinner and then played a game.  The kids were given a game of charades so we thought we'd try it out tonight. Wow there were major ups and downs in a short span of time!  

To the highlights:

Naaman drew the card for napkin so he proceeded to lie down on his side rubbing his hands together.  We all took a guess, but nobody could get it right.  When he said he was a napkin, Brook and I tried not to laugh too hard.  We didn't want to embarrass him, but man it was funny.  I hope you can picture it.  

Kyra really grasped the concept of the game quickly, and though she made sounds she did a great job acting out her subject.  One time she said, arrrrrgh.  Brook guess teacher, Naaman guessed lion, and I guessed pirate.  She was a pirate!  I was the one who usually guessed correctly which made Naaman really sad and mad, but Kyra really happy.  

The low lights:

Naaman was upset that he lost.  It was not a huge fit, but he did cry.  He really does not like to lose at anything! I kind of like that about him though we're also trying to teach him to be gracious.  It was another teaching moment for us with Naaman.  You really should have seen the napkin skit!
