Ledger has never been very interested in board games, so we were a bit surprised when he asked for a piece of cardboard. 'Why do you need cardboard, buddy?' we asked, 'I want to make my own board game!' he replied. All right, we've got a bunch of boxes downstairs so we headed down to find a piece big enough. We brought one up and he disappeared into his room. About 10 minutes later he asked for another piece because he 'did it wrong'. We got him another one and he went right back to work making the perfect board game. Almost a half hour later he came out excited to show us his completed creation: the new game Candy Cats! (yes, the exclamation point is in the name). He was so proud of it that he could hardly spit out the rules of the game. We found some dice and he, Diana, and I all sat down to play the inaugural game of Candy Cats! I've got to tell you, he was so pumped about his creation that it was literally impossible for him to sit down- he spend the whole game standing up, dancing, and laughing hysterically! He was so delighted in what he had made that he was actually sweating while we played.
I'm sure we will have the good fortune to be able to play it a few more times in the coming days. We are so excited...
