The Listening Game

Last week when we visited the hospital for Oliver's elbow, we decided to play the listening game when we were in the hospital room. Oliver was very active and impatient- so we played a game to get him to calm down. We could hear a lot of noises in the hallway and in other rooms. So, we sat there and listened, and listened. After a few minutes we talked about what we heard.

When things get a bit hectic around here we stop and play the listening game. It helps to slow Oliver down and give Mommy a much needed rest. We tried to play the listening game with the parrots that visit every morning and every evening- but Mommy couldn't catch them in time. Instead you can listen to the other birdies in our yard....

Oliver is off to be with Daddy for a couple of days and Mommy is off with her Chocolate Cake to play the listening game at Sara Bareilles concert!
