The Magic of Chalk

With the fabulous So Cal climate chalk has very quickly become a favorite. As a result Hudson has become quite the tic-tac-toester. It’s a cat’s game with him every time and believe me…I don’t go easy on him. He has taken to writing the alphabet and writing every word he knows how to spell over and over. Needless to say the patio is sporting a colorful "the, and, it, play" rug. This morning after about 25 grueling tic-tac-toe games Hudson makes up a new game where I draw bubbles and he draws L-shaped guns to pop my bubbles. I proceed to draw bubbles everywhere and he follows behind me making shooting noises to accompany his Ls. At this point I start varying my bubble shape and draw one that is fairly small. He looks at the bubble and then to me and says, "Gee mom, I need a magnifying glass to see that one". He then draws a magnifying glass and then a little gun and bursts my bubble. Oh the magic of chalk.
