With the talk this week about Groundhog Day and whether the groundhog would see his shadow or not, Collin was very interested in shadows last night and then again tonight. Last night, we used his flashlight in his dark room to make shadows. He started first and took a few minutes to figure out how to make a shadow on the back of his door. Once he figured it out, he was able to make a dog bark and a bird. Then, it was my turn. We went back and forth like this a few times sharing shadows and guessing what the shadow represented.
Tonight, he talked about shadows with Mimi and wanted her to make shadows. Because he had already stalled so tonight before bathing, reading books and getting into his bed, it was late and we did not want to spend too much more time aiding him in his "delay tactics" as I call them. Mimi did do a few shadows before we both kissed him good night.
He is to bring something that makes a shadow tomorrow for show n tell. I set out a few of his zoo animals for him to bring to school. Wonder which one he will pick? Maybe the giraffe.
