The Apple Doesn't Fall Far

While I was putting Cooper down for a nap, I asked Addison to play quietly.  I walked into her room to find her playing "The Monkey Game" (card game) by herself - just playing 4 different hands.  I believe it is in our genes.  I used to play games by myself all the time - Canasta, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Skip-Bo, Phase 10 - whatever suited my fancy at the time.

I'm fairly certain she has never seen me playing games by myself, so I know it just must be something within us - we just need to play games - whether there are people to play with or not.

This is so very endearing! I couldn't be more pleased that she is exhibiting one of my favorite Aimee-isms! I will forever fondly remember playing Canasta with you while studying for finals! Happy memories!! :)
