Family Fight Night: Flash Tested and Failed

When Jenée was a little girl she liked to line things up. She would take a sheet of window cling decorations and line them up on the windows. We also had a box of rubber, eraser-like, cars. There were six types of cars in six colors. J would line them up according to color and type front to back. That was her "game." She likes organization. For Christmas Cole received the game Blokus. The first game we played J was just learning how to play. She had a hard time seeing her yellow pieces as they blended in with the coffee table. In order to help her see the pieces easier she got a book. Then in typical fashion she arranged her pieces.

She thought we were teasing her, but really I was pleased to see that somethings remain the same. There is still that little girl who craves order. We only like to tell her that it is an illness because it elicits responses like this:
By the way, this is a great game that involves strategy. We love family games and this one is sure to become a family favorite for us.
