Make My Saturday Sweet #5

3 Things Amanda Did for the First Time

Last Saturday was a day of firsts for Amanda. I'm so glad that I have pictures to share of her first time experiences.

1. Her dad taught her how to play snap. He took out some of the cards to make the game simpler for her.

2. Then her brother taught her how to play chess. He began with only the pawns on the board. When they reached the other side, he'd add a new piece like the queen. Every once in a while, I'd hear him say something like, "You can't move there because I could take your queen." I'm not sure how much she understood, but she loved that her brother was spending time with her.

3. A little bit later, her dad went with Amanda and me to the mall. He had to meet someone there while we ran a few fun errands. Once we had the things we needed, I bought Amanda and myself both a dipped soft-serve ice-cream. I was impressed that she managed to finish her first dipped cone, which was larger than the plain vanilla soft-serves we normally buy.

Now, on to the blog hop...

Don't worry! I'm sure it will come right. I noticed that even the SITS Girls link is not working. So, it seems that others are having the same trouble. The best thing you can do is to go do something else entirely! Blogging can be so time-consuming.

So true, apparently someone has taken out godaddys DNS servers, I'm getting feedback that people can get on it sporadically but I've given up till godaddy call it's back.

I don't get why these hackers do these things.. Don't they think of the other people it will effect? I mean my blogs just little it's just annoying to me really - but they could be effecting small business owners lively hood :( .

No way! That's just awful! I think hackers do it to show that they can. Landa Cope from the Dean of Communication at YWAM said that when guys get awards (like Grammys), they thank their moms, because moms always want to help their kids to go further then they have. When it comes to fathers and sons, the male objective is to see who can piss further. Now, my husband isn't that type, but I think it is a common guy thing. Ego.

How fun that her big brother is happy to teach her. My oldest son loves to play chess and hopefully, when my younger two are old enough he'll be that sweet. Thanks for sharing at AfterSchool!

Thanks for sharing on our AfterSchool. Games are such a fun thing to do after school and always fun when you see them start to learn more complex games. Chess was one of my son's favorites.

I wonder how much of the came she understood and took away with her? I love watching older and younger sibling interacting.
P.S. I tagged you in my post this morning! http://forgetfulmomma.com/?p=1269

I'm sure not much, but she had fun and the special interaction with big brother was priceless. Thanks for thinking of me to tag me, but I won't be able to participate this time. I did something similar recently on my photography blog called the Liebster Blog Award at http://1camera1mom.blogspot.com
