Lately, Teensy and I have been doing some cuddling on the couch and playing that age-old classic, "I Spy." Some of our games have cracked me up. Here are the highlights:
We were facing the living room window
Teensy: I spy with my little eye...something green.
Me: Oh, wow, this is a tough one...
Teensy: I'll give you a clue, Mom. They're green and long and go down the walls on both sides of the window.
Me: The curtains?
Teensy: (thrilled) Yes! You got it!
See what a genius I am? But wait, things got even trickier...
Teensy: I spy with my little eye...something orange.
Me: (initially, genuinely stumped as there is a shortage of orange in my living room) Wow, let me see...
Teensy: Okay, okay, I'll give you a clue. It's orange and tall and a light and has a circle on it.
Me: The light?
Teensy: You got it, Mom! Good job!
Wow--with a clue like "a light" how did I ever guess that it was, in fact, a light? Call Mensa. Teensy, herself, is quite the guesser and doesn't require nearly as many clues as her dear old mom.
Me: I spy with my little eye...something beautiful.
Teensy: ME! (elated giggling)
Anyway, it's apparently her new favorite game. I guess I don't need to act like her things are too hard to guess. She's just as happy when I correctly guess as when I act like she's stumped me.

What a fun mommy you are. I'll be sure to buy you something orange to decorate your living room and give you more options for your I Spy game.
So cute. Alex was always far too impatient for this one, so I haven't gotten back into the groove of playing it.
What a sweet moment with Teensy - I love her hints!!:)
That's very funny. I like any games where I get to sit on the couch. Sadly, those are the "boring" games to my boys.
That is really sweet. I love being able to talk to my kids. (One down, two to go!)
So cute. As a fellow "genius" mother, I have Mensa's number if you need it.
Shw is a really good clue giver. Got to give credit where credit is due. And something beautiful, duh, it's gotta be Jon Bennet (I have no idea how to spell her name).
So cute. I love mommy moments like these.
What a riot. That is the only way we get through long lines at the store :) Oh, and I tagged you on my blog!
I haven't played that game for a long time... that's a great idea for when you don't want to get off the couch! (:
How cute! I can't wait to play this game with her...I love games!! I have some new ones I can teach, her, too...
