whomever's idea it was to ensure that your preschooler does not win every game she plays, clearly does not have a 3 1/2 year old named ada. after playing the 1000th round of chutes and ladders/the ladybug game/candyland (oh wait, not candyland, as ada has officially chewed up several of the candy cards), i finally won! i did it for the betterment of my child. no, i did not brag or rub it in, i just made it to home base first. quietly and serenely.
it will never happen again. my daughter lost it. she screamed "i don't want to be a loser" for twenty minutes. tears flowed. i tried reasoning with her. i reassured her that she was still a "winner". but really i just learned that she will win every game i play with her until further notice. or maybe forever.
sincerely,
courtney
