Noah and I played a few games of Uno today. It is really good for him to play this game: he likes knowing the colors and the numbers. He enjoys the opportunity to shout “Uno!” before me. When we play, I help guide him on each move to keep the game moving. It is important that I not let him win on purpose, as he does get excited when I win as well. These times will make great memories.

Today was the first day that I’ve spent time with my son this year. We ate dinner, played Uno, played with Hot Wheels, watched cartoons and read books. I have missed him badly.
