Army Men

Jack found some Army men in the dollar section at Target.
He couldn't wait and get home to play with them. He talked my ear off all the way home about what he was going to do and how it was all going to play out.


He kept building factories and spoke some nonsense about harvesters and getting more spices. Jack answered he was playing out all that he learned from daddy's game when I asked him what he was talking about. A couple weeks ago poor Jason came down with a bad case of strep throat and was out of commission for a couple of days. His throat was so swollen it looked like he had a goiter.  One day Jason played his game as a distraction from the discomfort. Jack was in heaven as he sat next to him watching him play.
True to character Jack soaked it all in, kept it for a couple of weeks and is now letting it all come out as he plays.
