Cousin Addie

Calvin has been in heaven these last couple days with his cousin Addie in town. This is the first time Cal and Addie have played "with" each other, and it has been pretty amusing to watch. There is a constant fort somewhere in the living room, and last night Dan asked Cal what the fort's name was. Cal said, "Head Fort." To which Addie chimed in, "No, it is a headquarters!" Needless to say, Calvin is learning a lot from his 6-year-old cousin!

Maybe Calvin's favorite part so far has been playing school! Of course, Addie is the teacher, and Calvin LOVES it! He keeps asking Addie to do more spelling and reading. Spelling consists of the two of them scribbling circles on paper (thoughtful Addie explained that she chose to do that instead of actual letters because 3 year olds would not have fun trying to write real letters).

 Reading time is spent by Addie reading her books to Calvin. So sweet!

Kim took Addie and Calvin blueberry picking yesterday morning. They had a blast!

Jack just enjoyed eating their plunder!

Addie has also been really sweet with her youngest cousin Luke. 

Kim and Addie went to Kroger and Aldi for me during naptime and brought back frozen strawberry lemonade for Addie and I to share together. Yum. We were both complaining of being cold in our 75 degree house on a 100 degree day, shivering with goosebumps together. Sweet Bonding!
