Playin' Checkers

Hello.

Well, it's been a few days since I last posted. I would have written sooner except that my little guy has just learned how to play checkers and well...I appear to be a worthy opponent. Right now my husband is playing the "champ" so I have a few minutes to myself.

When the champ declared that he wanted to play checkers I was full of misgivings. The game is a little hard to explain and I wasn't sure I had the vocabulary or the patience to teach him. THAT was before I ever sat down with him to play. Apparently, Jason at school taught him how to play. I thought in my head, "Phew, I don't have to teach him, I just have to make sure he wins a few times." HA! Apparently again, Jason taught him well.

In the last few days of playing checkers I won a whopping ONE time. I honestly tried to beat him. He had amazing strategies and when he won he was so cute. He didn't diss me, he jumped for joy that he won!! It was great to watch.

Well, I just heard the giggles again. I guess he just beat daddy.

I gotta go...it's my turn.

Have hope (maybe I'll win!)
