BRRRRRRR!

Baby, it's cold outside! So we are just staying in, cozy warm in our Sharon apartment. We have arranged for the children to come over to our apartment one at a time throughout the weekend. We find it is the best way to have real quality time with them. You could say we are a bit selfish – when they are all together they tend to get wrapped up in each other. That is fun to watch, but when there is just one of them and the two of us, we not only have the opportunity to spoil them but also to really interact with them.

We have now booked our flights and hotel for the trip with Joshua to Disney World in June. Joshua has an email account, and Barry sent him all the information the arrangements and links to WDW. And Joshua responded like the fabulous little man he is, with three words: I LOVE YOU. Simply priceless.

I feel as if I’ve been busy but we haven’t even seen any films in the past few weeks! Every day I have been doing the “homework” given to me by the Heidi Bender, my neuropsychologist: an electronic “game” called Lumosity. The main game Heidi recommended is called “Playing Koi” (I always appreciate a good play on words). In the first round, there are, depending on what level you have achieved, a number of identical fish swimming around. What you have to do is to click on each fish once and only once. But there is a delay between clicks, so that you have to be watching all of the fish as they swim randomly around the pond. You are only allowed the number of clicks that there are fish, so if you click in error on the same fish twice you cannot get a perfect score. Each time you correctly click on all the unique fish, the next round begins with an additional fish. I do fine with 5 fish, get it most of the time with 6 fish, but once it gets to 7 fish I just cannot keep track of them. You can actually go to www.lumocity.com and sign up for a free trial to see what these games are about. Will it help? I don’t know, but it makes me feel like I am doing something to wake up the parts of my brain that need reawakening, and that can never be a bad thing.

I need to sign off now, but I do hope that once I “post” this at least some of you will see and read it. I will keep working on trying to understand how blogger works.

Have a nice weekend and stay warm!

Love,

Rebecca
