Zzzzzz…
The Koigu project went well last night (finally!), to the point that I didn’t go to bed until 1am. This was a mistake, as I woke up at 5:30 feeling poorly. Then my daughter woke up and crawled into bed with me. If I’d been feeling better, it would have been great, but it was still good because she was so snuggly and sweet.
She’s been playing chess recently. She understands how the pieces move, and how they capture, and I think she’s starting to get the idea of thinking a move ahead. She does play by her own rules, of course. Wants to move and capture all the pawns, then some other piece, and so on. So here’s my little ham with our Simpsons chess board. This is why you never tell my daughter to “SMILE!”
We only caught one mouse last night, so either that’s it or the one we caught was shouting out little mousey warnings to the others. I’ll reset the traps tonight, just in case.
Ha! I bought that Simpsons chess set for my high school boyfriend when I was in Virginia. It was a hoot watching it go through the x-ray at the airport — all you could see were the silhouettes.

I have to say, two things that greatly interest me in the world are autism and synaesthesia. Whilst one is a symphony and the other is a miswiring, they both sound like a very surreal, if not entirely pleasant, experience. I love reading these stories about how your daughter interacts with and interprets the world around her, it’s nice to be able to see someone coping so well against the challenges I’m sure it presents.
Of course if I’ve just remembered incorrectly and your daughter does not, in fact, suffer from autism, my apologies. Although my interest in the subject stands. I’m intrigued by things that alter basic perception.

that’s so cool about her and learning to play chess. I tried so hard, but it’s just not for me. I guess you need to have a sincere interest in it to help 😀
