And for today...
So, our Max pretty much taught himself to read and he doesn't shy away from most words, so that is pretty cool. The other day, he got a new solitaire chess game. We don't play chess here, but he saw it in the store and kept coming back to it (he's a sucker for games with steps/moves) so it was a reward he earned last month. Anyway, when he gets something new like this, he wants to play by himself for a while before letting others in. He read the instructions on all the different moves that each player can make and then sort of played. When I sat down to play I just couldn't stop smiling at the pronunciations he came up for the pieces. I just wanted to document, since I heard him play again today. He knows them correctly now, but still slips up sometimes.
Queen and king were fine, but not the others...
Rook - "ROCK"
Pawn - "POW-NN"
Knight - "KAH-Nite" (I guess he hadn't learned the silent K, yet)
bishop - "BEEE-shop" (my personal fav)
so cute. love that kid.

Cute, cute do Jill! Did you go to Lisa again??
I have about 374 pictures of myself in my catalog of trying to get a good self-portrait... I'm thinking about finally investing in a remote. WOuldn't that be fun?
Yep, Lisa :)
I tried the self timer too, but this one was best...
A remote would be nice... I am sure it would be handy for your shoe posts too, right?
How funny about Max! Zac wanted to learn how to play chess back when he was about 3 and I couldn't figure it out since most adults can't! He learned how all the pieces move so now it's just a matter of learning strategy!
gosh you're gorgeous! tell me you photoshop'ed out at least one wrinkle... :)
i am still so impressed with this kid's reading, and his young engineer's mind.
love the photo, jill! b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l!
