Games with Jack

We're a game family -- board games, primarily. Seems Jack is too.

On Sunday, when Emily and I went shopping, Jack played games with Baba. We came back to find that they'd played Yahtzee, Sorry, and Battleship over the past hour. They were still playing Battleship, with Baba twisted on the floor like a pretzel, peering over at Jack's board, explaining to him how to play. Later, I saw the Yahtzee scoresheet. It appeared they were basically just rolling out dice, adding them all up, and Jack was recording the numbers. So it was JACK 23, BABA 17, in Jack's blocky capital letters, and underneath JACK 87, BABA 76, and so forth; he wrote each name each time.

Later, Baba was playing Solitaire at the computer. Jack was at his elbow; Baba was explaining how to play.

I can remember having to tell Jack to say goodbye to Nana and Baba; reminding him to give them hugs and all that. Today, as we left, he did it on his own.
