The Game of Life

We played Life today, per Eve’s request. For some reason she loves that game despite the fact that it’s for ages 9 and up. At one point, while trying to explain lawsuits to her, she interrupted with:

“I don’t think someone could sue me because I have lots of dollars and a spin-y wheel!”

The “spin-y wheel” she referenced was a Spin To Win card that has absolutely nothing to do with lawsuits. She did have lots of dollars though, and big numbers on the spinner. She zoomed through the game, rolling in her money (literally!), and got to retirement while Lex and I were only about halfway across the board. Good times. :)

Teacher assignment

We got Eve’s teacher assignment today!  She has the same kindergarden teacher Lex had.  I’m happy, though she seems rather indifferent about it (and school in general).  The buddy she was hoping would be in her class is not, but when I mentioned it Eve just shrugged her shoulders.  I have no doubt she’ll make friends!
