Go(ld) Fish

Lucas has been really into the show "Dinosaur Train" on PBS lately. I actually think it is a pretty good and informative show, so we watch it every day together. Last week, one of the dinosaurs learned how to play Go Fish while riding on the train. (Only, on the show, they actually ate fish when they had to "Go Fish".) So, as we are watching I say to Lucas, "I'll bet you are old enough to play Go Fish. We should play when Daddy gets home."

And play we did. He LOVED it. Except that he thought it was called GOLDfish, and definitely thinks that eating goldfish crackers are part of the rules. (This should not surprise anyone who knows that Lucas spent the entire first year of preschool telling me that the best part of school was goldfish for snack). He kept laughing at me because I just could never remember that rule about the goldfish :P

My family loves to play games, especially cards, so here's hoping this is the first of many card games that Lucas enjoys!
