Lately, we have been playing board games with Kaylee on the weekends after bathtime. We gave her Candyland as a Christmas present and we were enjoying playing a real game as a family. At first, she followed the directions well and understood how to win the game. After a few weeks, she quickly learned that she didn't want to "win" anymore, she simply only wanted "Queen Frostine". So, we would spend the whole game looking for that card. Then, K just wanted to collect each character card, regardless if she had to move back to the beginning of the game. Last Saturday, she was literally ONE rainbow square of winning the game, when Daddy picked the "Gingerbread Man".
Dramatic music. Burst into tears. Meltdown in Candyland.
Finally, K compromised and switched spots with Daddy. Yes, one spot away from winning to the first charter square. Add another 30 minutes to the game. Guess we are far from actually playing a board game by its rules. Just know if you play with K, she always wins...at least by her rules.
