Peek-A-Shoe

Last week Nick got a fun surprise at the front door - a birthday present from Aunt Sarah! It is a super cool Leap Frog Peek-A-Shoe. You drop balls into the octopus' head or hand and they come out in his shoes. The kids look under the shoes to find the balls. The octopus says, 'Peek-a-boo!' when you find it and tells you either the color or the number of the shoe that you find it under. It was a big hit with both boys! I was actually a little surprised at how well Nick did putting the balls into the hat and hand. I think he watched Ben do it a couple of times and then started doing it himself. They were about to start throwing elbows going after the balls, though! We are working on Ben's sharing skills.

And like everything, sometimes the box is just more fun. Nick got stuck in the box going head first - his preferred method for anything, including getting off the couch.
