Today is a slow day. Really slow. We have a couple of days a week like this normally, but I think today feels worse because yesterday was slow, too. Kai has watched way too much TV and doesn't want to play. I feel guilty making him play by himself so much while I'm sitting with Finn protecting him, feeding him, putting him to bed, etc. So when Kai pulled out playing cards this morning I figured we had time to talk about them. I took all of the cards out of the box and talked to him about the "A" for ace, the four different suits (I didn't use that word but rather "shapes"), all of the numbers and the picture cards. And then I handed him cards and had him match them and put them in order. I doubt it'll stick with him, but it definitely took up some time and it was time that I felt was much better spent than it would have been otherwise. I love little teaching moments with my buddy and he really does give me quite a lot of them. Here's Kai and his cards.
