Memory Marathon

As soon as Cory walks in the door the girls start asking if he will play Memory with them after dinner. We have been playing a family game every night for about a month now. Bailey has a pretty short attention span for the game...she just wants to find the cards with Sleeping Beauty on them, and then she is happy to quit. Riley, on the other hand, is quite competitive. She and Cory play for blood and guts as soon as Bailey and I drop out of the game. Their games usually come down to the wire, with the winner being the one who "cleans it" (matching up the remaining few pairs of cards on the floor). Riley has had to learn how to be a graceful winner and a good loser...so has Cory! No matter who wins, each game is ended with Riley saying, "Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug." She sure is happier when she is the windshield and her dad is the bug!
