"It's On!"

Princess and Little Man are playing the Toy Story Memory game together.

Our daughter has been good at this game, seemingly, her whole life. Seriously, at two years old she was kicking the you-know-what out of most of her opponents. Her memory is so ridiculously good, we think she might be part elephant.

So, now her opponent comes in the form of her almost-four year old little brother. And, he only recently showed any interest (or ability) in the memory game.

They set up the full game - ALL the cards - which generally plays to Princess' strengths, especially since Little Man's ability to focus for long periods of time has proven (age appropriately) a challenge.

Well, after Princess set the game up, gave Little Man some pointers and positive reinforcement, he came out of the gates with guns a' blazin'!
No sooner had the game started, Princess exclaims, "HOLY COW, HE'S BEATING ME!"

I looked down and saw 4 or 5 matches for him, and NONE for her.

I was stunned.

So was she, because as we watched him collect yet ANOTHER match, she paused briefly and then very calmly said, "That's it. I've had it. It's on."

Mommy laughed. Out loud.

Hubby walked in - I relayed what had just happened - and his reply was simply (and dripping with sarcasm), "That's healthy..."

For the record, Princess buckled down, came back, and kicked his ass.

They're on game #2 now ....
