There's something about playing games with grandchildren that's a bit depressing! Little Jack, who'se four and a half stayed with us last night and most of today. We played a game called 'Matching pairs', where you each get a turn to lift two covers on an assortment of numbers, letters, animals and items depicted on the board below with the intention of remembering where duplicates were. Jack beat me at 5 straight games and it was only afterwards that I realised why. On the back of the box it said "Ages 4 to 8 years"!

Well, at least he went home tired! Fell asleep in the car going home. We also built a castle with lego kind of pieces.
