We have been sadly lacking in games at our house, so in the past couple weeks we've been accumulating games. We now have Candy Land (the Sita's favorite), Go Fish and Parcheesi. Parcheesi took awhile to arrive, and when it did, the first thing the Dude did (after asking to see the board and pieces) was to read the rules. I was busy making sure the Sita didn't scatter the pieces to the wind before playing our first game and then cleaning up the wrappings and uploading our new Carnival of the Animals music, so I just asked him to make sure the rules got back in the box when he was done.
Now, you would think that I would be past being surprised at the Dude's comprehension, but I admit I wasn't expecting him to understand the rules. He did! When we played for the first time and the Sita rolled her doubles he got so excited for her that she got to go AGAIN because she had rolled doubles!
Watch out if he challenges you to a game of Memory. He beat me. Both times. And I wasn't trying to be nice.

I have a theory that kids have some feature that allows them to be particularly good at Memory. O was beating us when he was two. In fact, he's less good now. Maybe it's because he doesn't find it as fun anymore or maybe it's because practice made us better, but it used to be the only reason we won was because he would point out matches to us on our turns.
