Of late, Calvin has taken to playing board games. He likes to play board games with his friends at school and with me at home. Have you noticed I have left Athan out of the picture when it comes to playing board games? Well, at this stage, Athan is not very good at playing board games. Basically, he is too young. He wants to join in whenever we are playing, but as he can’t keep up with the pace and he refuses help, he is often a distraction as in, he will take the die and hide it or overturn the board or misplace the pieces — these are all very annoying, especially to Calvin. This is an example:
Check out the looks on the boys’ faces. Not very pretty. 🙂 We were playing “snake and ladder” half way when Athan decided he had enough and began his “tricks” on us. He took the die and all our playing tokens and refused to return to us. We had to stop the game until Mr A decide to return the pieces to us — by which time, Mr C had lost interest. I feel sorry for Calvin, but at the same time I do understand that Athan is too young to participate. Oh well, time will heal. 🙂
