...at the Game of Life!
We have reached another family milestone... boardgames.
Now that 2/3 of our children are reading, we can play games together; the complicated kind, like Life.
With a little help the boys managed their own play. Abby and Lisa were partners. The kids had a ball. It was a great way to spend an afternoon getting along together as a family and having a good time. As we played, Lisa and I couldn't help but comment on the irony of the game's simple plan, and obvious motivational overtone.
i.e. If you go to college, you can have a great paying job and save money to afford purchasing a home and raising children, while saving for a lavish retirement.

It was so fun when the kids graduated to the real games. Of course you don't need to read to play Poker, but moving from Monopoly Jr. to the real one was a huge milestone. Very fun. Congratulations!
