Playing Games

Kelsey loves to play games. She doesn't always play exactly by the rules, but we try to work at it each time we play. She likes to play Chutes and Ladders, Princess Yahtzee, Candyland, and her favorite game of all, Memory. She does understand the rules of Memory and plays it quite well. We do flip all the cards so the pictures are showing though and then she finds all the matches. In addition, she is really into Hide and Seek right now. She likes to be the one to count and often only gives you a very limited time to pick your spot. But then after she counts, she will ask to hide and pick the same spot you were just in. The other night Matt and Kelsey were playing and Matt hid underneath a blanket on the couch. So the next time she did the same. The following time it was Matt's turn to hide again, so he put pillows under the blanket to look like he was under it and ran behind the loveseat. The look on her face was priceless when she pulled the blanket off because she thought she had found him and was pretty surprised he wasn't under there.
