We've had much enthusiasm for dominoes lately, especially a particular 5-year-old. Ian loves numbers, and Dominoes is his new favorite game. Nina fetches dominoes when we need to draw. She is more than happy to oblige (between doll fittings). When we draw our first dominoes, we keep them face up and it's been helpful as he's learning the game. But as he learns the strategies, we may have to change that a bit! I appreciate his generous nature as he plays. He's not overly competitive or cut-throat... yet. It is a fun way for us to spend time with him!

Oh your kids are adorable! I want to pinch their cheeks and hug them and hold them! It's so fun to see the little people they are becoming!
ReplyDeleteYes...he is learning strategies...like peeking under all the dominoes to find the biggest double and the double blank...oh yes, I caught him! He is my favorite person to play Mexican train with though. I just can't resist the way he says.."that one needs to be satisfied" or "my train is closed now."
