Crown me!
Two days ago, I taught Emily to play checkers. She was actually interested, which is good, since sometimes it’s tough to get her attention on these things. I think her familiarity with chess was helpful. Also, the Groovy Girls checkers set probably didn’t hurt.
Yesterday, she asked to play twice, and looked like she was thinking about her moves. Could have been coincidence.
Today, we played and I explained why I was taking some moves instead of others. Then she’d put the pieces back on and experiment with looking at how the different outcomes played out.
Tomorrow she’ll probably be beating the pants off of me. Smart kid!

You just reminded me that Groovy Girls are waaaaaaaaaay better and cooler than Bratz. What the hell is up with those Bratz, anyway? A little girl in my life just had a birthday, and all she wanted was Bratz crap. I swallowed my morality and bought a genie bottle with a scantily-clad doll in it. The doll had on more eyeliner than I, personally, own, and you know that’s a lot of eyeliner.
Sigh.

Seconded! Bratz wear too much makeup, too revealing clothes, and have mature figures. Groovy Girls have none of those things, and they actually smile. Radical notion.
