Magic Touch 3/27

There is magic that happens with a child when you pay them special attention. They seem to grow in self-esteem. It's the feeling of being loved, and loving in return.

Eno Brad asked if William would be interested in magic tricks. I replied, "Who wouldn't be?" So, he got a couple easier card tricks for William to learn.
William may struggle a bit with the shuffling and the dexterity, but he can still amaze the crowd. Kristi was the perfect first person to impress.
Eno Brad not only gave him a junior magician certificate, but made a 'license,' laminated and all, for him. It is funny... before every magic trick, William shows the folks his 'license to create magic.'

There's something about sharing a passion with a child who loves the same things as you do. Of course, William can be passionate (some would call it obsessed) about a lot of things. Currently he's interested in Interstate highways, and studies the maps constantly. Uncle Arnold, who has driven many of them, and he were reviewing maps last night.

William was describing our route to Mummi Kay and Eno Brads, and south of Portland he points and says, "Right about here, it got really boring!" :)

But, the trip down was worth it to enjoy relatives, and to be spoiled!

Kristi kept taking William on cat hunts. They devised a 'dinner trap' with cat food and cat nip. When that wasn't having the affects desired, they did an 'EXTREME dinner trap.' That included tuna. It worked. :) William had dinner traps at every corner, cranny, and turn.

Love you Mummi Kay, Eno Brad, Kristi, Max (who actually let William pet him without food coercion on the final day), and LC!
