Abracadabra!

Saturday, January 22, 2011




Brady and Cash went to the cutest magic show at JD's birthday party. Cash thought he was doing his own magic tricks by holding his wand in is hat with no hands. Bravo, Cash! Brady went from a happy magician to a sad magician quick when the face painter did not understand that he wanted a dragon on his face instead of the smiley face he painted (which was pretty ironic). Needless to say, we have a few frustration issues to work on with Brady and need to learn some better ways to express our anger. After the party, the boys loved playing with their new hats and wands. Brady likes to pull things out of his hat or make things disappear. I have learned to work this to my advantage. For example:

Me: "Brady, will you get me a tissue?"
B: "No."
Me: "Can you make a tissue appear from your hat?"
B (excitedly): "Sure!"

Brady runs to the bathroom and sneaks tissue into his hat and puts it back on his head. Then he comes back, takes off his hat, waves a magic wand over his hat, and boom, I have tissue! Abracadabra!
