Blast Off!

Travis' favorite game to play with Brianna lately is the countdown game. He started it a couple weeks ago by building blocks into a "rocket" then telling Brianna to countdown to blast off. She's familiar with the game now and will go "1,2,7....Blass off!" (Don't ask me why she thinks 7 comes after 2, she's counted that way for a few months now no matter how many time we repeat 1,2, 3 to her.) She's delighted when her daddy then "launches" the rocket by hoisting the bottom block up until they fall over. Their newest version of the countdown game is in the bath though. Bree loves to use her "Momo foam" in the tub. Now Daddy entertains her by throwing handfuls of pink foam up against the shower wall, where it sticks. Then he fills an empty shampoo bottle full of water and tells Brianna to countdown. At "blass off" he squeezes the middle of the shampoo bottle, sending a stream of water squirting onto the globs of foam, and washing them back into the tub. This game makes both of them laugh hysterically...Trav's never too far away from bringing out his inner child! It's part of what makes him a good daddy.
