Family Game Night

Recently we have started doing a weekly game night, and it has quickly become a very fun tradition. Tonight we held our game night that was supposed to be last Friday (delayed by our trip to Moab). Avery plays along with us in her own way on the games we all choose, and tonight one of the games was Uno. It is funny, because Oliver thinks the best card in the deck is the Wild Draw Four, but Avery thinks the best card is the blue "0." It is one of the only letters she recognizes these days, and blue is of course her favorite color. After we got done with our regular Uno game, Oliver started sorting out the cards by color and giving one color to each person. Avery was going for all the blues, but it was so cute and interesting that she would glady accept any blue card with a number on it, but she threw any blue card that had words or a symbol (skip, draw two, reverse) to the side! Such funny little personlity traits!

*This is totally unrelated to the above post, but still blogworthy, and still concerning Avery's idiosyncrasies: Just in the last couple of days, any time we see this certain shade of green car on the road, Avery spots it and says, "that is my favorite car!" The shade is the bluish-green that was popular in the early 90's, and she spots a lot of Chevy Cavaliers showing off her favorite color!
