POD: Portal to fun?

DSC_0008

Ever since the family bought me Portal for my birthday Jacob has wanted to play it. I usually had over the control and watch as he tries to figure out the controls and the onscreen puzzles. Today it was just so cute that I had to take a picture of him trying to figure out where to place the portal to get by the puzzle he was on. We’ve only got to games that I let him play on the PlayStation, Portal 2 and Little Big planet. I’m not sure which he prefers, though after watching him again today I wonder if it’s time to get him his first console game.

Today was a double birthday, our nation and the greatest women in our nation share the same birthday. So of course we celebrated the birth of our nation by blowing up a small portion of it.

POD: The Learning Continues

If you have read my blog at all tonight, you know that Jacob’s last day of school was today. So it amused me when I got home today to find him working on his homework. It seems that his teacher had given him an exercise book that they worked on in class. It was a My Letter Sounds  Book. Each page has few activities to do, from an action, to colour and of course tracing the letters. Since it wasn’t finished his teacher sent it home to be worked on over the summer. Jacob didn’t waste any time getting into it.
