Playing games
Lanette got Hi Ho the Cherry-o for christmas and it has been one of her favorite games. Today when I pulled it out I decided to whip out the dice too. She was pretty excited to try out the dice - she kept trying to end our cherry game early! Have you ever taught a 3 year old how to roll a die? She would just hold it tightly in both hands and then set it on the table…she kept getting the same number every time. Finally she figured out that if she dropped it up higher it would bounce and she would get new numbers. I was amazed at how quickly she picked up on counting the small number of dots (like 2 or 3). Now if I could just get her to understand Yahtzee!

Yeah, don’t start yahtzee until she’s about 10, unless you want to be highly frustrated. My boys always want to play it, and it’s pretty much like playing myself times four, because I have to tell them what to do for every single turn. Also, we have Yahtzee Junior, but in my opinion it’s a dumb game. Does she like Candyland? Someone always wants Matt to play that with them and it drives him crazy!
