In February my Mom's sister, my Aunt Holly slipped on some ice and hurt her back. My Mom went down to Utah for a week to help her out and then since she wasn't quite up to being on her own yet so she flew up to spend the week with us. What a fun time! She is so much fun to talk with and because she wasn't really mobile, Colin had a captive audience. She even taught him to play checkers. She was so patient with him, I think it comes from the 8 kids she had, her youngest being twins. Oh did I mention that she is a twin herself. I caught the picture of Colin and her play checkers below I love the look of concentration on his face. He was really trying hard to win so he even forgot to talk!!!! A rare occurrence! She didn't just let him win either but made him work for it, which meant it took him losing a bunch first!!!
I love family. They often have a way of making our kids feel so special in ways that us moms are not really capable of doing. I loved that picture. He does look very focused.
