Survival of the Fittest

On our way home from Disneyland last week we stopped at a little diner for some lunch. They had those little games where you move the little golf tee around and try to knock out all the pieces except one. Well, Cade thought it was so neat that there were little holes the fit the pieces perfectly. So, he tried and tried to get a piece in and would clap his hands and then go onto the next one. I was impressed that he was able to do it, they were really small holes.

Once he got all the pieces in Jared would quickly pull them all out and ask him to do it again. I thought it was a little bit mean but he claimed that he was only "encouraging his eye hand coordination." So Cade would start right back in again with the same process: place, clap, do it again. Well, once he had finally put the last piece in he ditched the celebration and went right to protecting his pieces because he knew if Jared got anywhere near them, they were toast. So he immediately coved the pieces and looked at Jared with a "don't even try it" look in his eyes (last picture) it was great! It is amazing what little ones come up with.

This "protection" look is so great. I'm impressed that he could get all of those pegs into the holes...that takes a lot of small motor skills!
