To play Chutes and Ladders with Payton is not a game of numbers and counting. It is a game of being good and bad, and doing stuff. EVERY SINGLE space that Payton lands on he asks, "what I just did?" to determine if he has broken a cookie jar and has to slide down the chute, or if he has helped a woman find her purse and then gets to go to the movies. No, I didn't have to look that up on the game board. I know them. I know them ALL. Don't skate on the ice, it'll crack and you'll fall. Bake a cake and you can eat it, climb that ladder! Saving a cat from a tree gets you a big reward and you climb a huge ladder. But to win the game the easy way you get first prize in the pet show. This is so like real life, isn't it? Anyway, between my moves and Payton's moves and the "what I just did?" and "what you did?"'s I was going crazy by space number 35. There isn't anything on space number 35 and he just doesn't accept "nothing" as an answer. "I DID NOTHING! THE SPACE IS BLANK! SEE... NUH-THING!"
I really wish we had played Blockus instead.

That's hilarious. I would have told my kids to shut up or we're done.
your patience is endless
LOL. Try Candyland...that is a fun one. Kaysen finally got the hang of it. I should try Chutes and Ladders to see what happens. Like an experiment...
Oh the joys of a three year old, I remember well!
