Lucy has learned a new skill, and it's called games. More specifically, Candy Land. The child lives and breathes the game. And when she isn't actually playing the game, she is asking you to play the game with her. Yesterday, I played three games - before 8:00a!! One morning she woke up, while her eyes were adjusting to the light, her first words of the morning to me were, "Can we play Candy Land?" She has also mastered the fine skill of cheating. Somehow, when you step out of the room for a minute, Princess Frostine or Lolly ends up on the top of the stack...and guess who's turn it is? And when SHE picks Gingerbread Man or Gum Drop, she tries to argue that she "really doesn't want to go back..let's put this card back." Hmmm...I am getting a strong suspicion that this is how Grandpa Gongaware plays the game....but of course, that is just a guess.Wednesday, January 21, 2009

OH LUCY!! Candy Land used to be my all time FAVORITE game. I completely understand how much you love it. My friend and I used to play what we called "speed candy land" (the normal version wasn't quite competitive enough for us). Next time I see you I would love to play!!
