for all the happiness, self esteem strengthening, brain building memories you provide.
such goodness comes from playing games.
i will admit to being terribly bored while we play...my mind races with things i could be doing.
but you watch them play and SEE them get it.
the counting and remembering.
spinning the spinner and moving the piece.
she got it!
she just learned a new skill...right before my eyes.
she'll never NOT know how to play chutes & ladders again.
how cool is that?!

not looking through the lens...because i was playing the game too.
it's fun to see what you get that way...give it a shot.)

but dishes will still be there after the chutes & ladders or memory.
there should always be time for play.
