Look, Mimi, I got THREE stars!!!

 Last Sunday, we met Gabe and Emerson for breakfast...  There was a magician who came to our table and did a magic trick for Emerson... the trick was taking a chocolate 'poker chip' and turning it into 2 poker chips....he also made them disappear...and reappear, but it was turning one into two that fascinated Emerson.  When the magician gave one to him, Emerson rubbed it the same way trying to get two...it didn't work...but the magician gave him two to eat. 

From there, we went to the Verizon store.  We joined with Gabe on a 'family plan'...and I finally got a smart phone...an iPhone5...which I've been wanting.  While we were there, Emerson found this iPad and went over and started to play some games.  I think I surprised him when I first walked up with my camera....

 He smiled...knowing his Mimi was taking his picture...

 He asked me if I wanted to watch him play the game...

Of course I did!  I was actually amazed at all he was doing.  He kept going from level to level.... the game would say something like, what are the fruits that start with a G....and then Emerson would click all the ones that did.  Another game was matching....like concentration.  He did pretty good on that too.  He did tell me I could play a few times.  He also told me I did a good job!  

 This was a version of Angry Birds...and when he knocked all the pieces down...

 

He was VERY excited...

 But when he got 3 STARS....

 He was REALLY EXCITED!!!

"Look, Mimi, I got THREE stars!!!!" he excitedly exclaimed. 

 He decided to show his Papa the games...

 Sometimes his Papa needs a bit more explanation...

 I think Emerson was proud of him at this point...

I had my new iPhone...and my guy got a new non-smart phone (Verizon only had 2 models to pick from...what does that tell you?)...and it was time for us to start heading home...

 I wanted a picture of my boys... Emerson wanted his cars in the picture...

 Is that too cute?

My baby boy...and his baby boy...

It was a short visit...short and sweet!
