Last time I played with Flashcards, we held them in our hands, then flipped them over for the answer. Jude of course has a new and improved way! Just stick them on your head one at a time for the information to slowly absorb through your skull and into your brain. I think he's got something there. Hey, I'm up to trying anything that makes life a little easier and a lot more fun!
Gotta love these kids,
Bubbie and Jude
P.S. At what ages did you find flash cards to be most helpful for the kids?

Carrying the kids, turns out, is harder on the back, but much easier on the nerves! Wouldn't be so bad letting them take the stairs, if they were willing to let you help...but NOOOOOOOO! I try to take Jude's hand, and he pushes me away. I feel like a human net. Standing inches away, without him noticing, my hands are ready for the slip! I back up slowly covering every little space Jude could fall through, while guiding him down to safety. Whew! Jude's learning to navigate his way down the steps is working my brain more than a crossword puzzle. Geez, maybe I'm on to something here!
Best,
Bubbie
P.S. At what ages did your grandkids start pushing their way towards independence ?

When I multi-task, it usually consists of talking on the phone, paying a bill, and probably downing a bag of chocolate Kisses, all at the same time. I'm pretty proud of myself when I do this! For little ones, the process moves slightly to the left! As long as they're touching some things with most body parts, while using their mouths to blow raspberries, or making unrecognizable sounds too, they're multi-tasking! They may not look like they're accomplishing much of anything, but they're getting a lot done! Using their creative and inquisitive minds, they're exploring the world around them using their five senses. I'd love to think outside the box like they do, and wouldn't mind stepping inside a few, too!
Here's to exercising our minds,
Bubbie
P.S. How does your grandchild or child help you challenge your brain?
