• Last night I took one of the games my sister had sent me for Christmas (the game “Trouble”) to the girls room and played it with the younger girls.  It is a tedious game, but it has the plastic half bubble that you press down causing the dice inside to flip around and the kids can’t get enough of it.  What started out as me playing with three of the kids turned into a 2 on 2 on 2 on 3 team game.  My job was just letting some of the kids sit in my lap (to the point where I couldn’t even see the board), keeping the group from the competitive quarreling, and giving high fives and praise when a good dice bounce would happen.  I loved it when one of them would pop the bubble, get a good roll, and then look at me and say looking for approval, “I did good, right?”  Yes, you punched that bubble well.  Cute kids.
