The first game we played was Skip-Bo. Marc had never played this before and we thought he would enjoy it. He did...and bonus for Mommy since I LOVE Skip-Bo!! :-)
(On a side note: While we were playing Skip-Bo, Marc was building up one of the piles and counting out loud. He said "5, 6, 7" and out of my little Princess came "8, 9"!!! She totally floored us!! We tried to get her to do it again on video but she wouldn't do it with the camera rolling. She very frequently count "1, 2, 3" while playing, but she has not gone higher then 3, sometimes 4. wow! )
We played various other games throughout the next few days including Deal or No Deal, and Clue Jr. We looked through some of the "older" kid games and found the traditional Clue. We decided he got the idea and rules down and correct for Clue Jr. so it was time to try the "real" one.
It was truly a lot of fun playing these "big boy" games with my smart little Peanut! He is growing and maturing into a (for the most part) very nice little man! :)While we were playing games with Marc, Samantha dad various activities at the table with us. She had fun coloring and doing stickers some of the time......
Peeling the paper off the crayons (look at that look of concentration!). When Marc was little I wouldn't let him take the paper off the crayons. Since then I have learned what a great fin motor skill practice it is, so I let her do it to as many crayons as she wants.
One of the other things she did was play with "My Friends Tigger and Pooh" dominoes. She had fun stacking, unstacking, and restacking them. We also did a good visual discrimination (teacher lingo) activity by having her find all the tiles with Pooh on them. She really liked that. She got really exited each time she found one with Pooh on them.
I am very excited that Marc has turned into a game kid. I love playing games and now I have some who loves them equally as much to play them with me! :-)
