Tonight, we had Family Game Night for the first time - and it was a candy-flavored blast. Mommy came up with the idea of playing Candyland, so that Madison could match up colors and even call a few out as she drew the cards.
Madison sat down immediately and got excited when Daddy started shuffling the cards. She was into it in no time at all, waiting for her turn so she could find out which color she'd get. It was no contest: Madison got to go through Gumdrop Mountain Pass and claim an early lead. Soon after that, she got the Ice Cream Floats card (everyone wants that card!).
Mommy got stuck in Gooey Gumdrops, and simply never recovered. Daddy made a gallant effort at catching up, but the night belonged to Madison, who played like a Candyland phenom. Indeed, she moved from color to color like a veteran, simply leaving us all in her candy-flavored dust!
Needless to say, a good time was had by all. For those of you with discerning eyes, that is in fact the 1960's version of the game on our table - we like that version over the newest editions with all the nutra-sweet characters all over the place.
It was a great evening, but soon after her impressive victory, it was time for bed. Madison quickly fell asleep, no doubt already having sweet dreams.
