About a month ago Isaiah found our board game Stratego in the game closet and asked me to teach him how to play it. The game is for ages 8+ but I figured we'd give it a shot anyway and to my surprise he actually gets how to play and he LOVES it. Just about every day since his discovery we have played Stratego at least once, but many days we play several times. He often begs someone to play with him. He does completely understand all of the rules and does a great job, however, he sometimes doesn't think of the best strategies to actually win the game -- so I may go a little easy on him :) It's fun to see that Isaiah has a love of board games just like his parents! Stratego is by far his favorite, but before he discovered that one we played Sorry on a very regular basis (which he completely understands too). He also enjoys Guess Who, Uno, Discovery Toys A to Z Jr, and Chutes & Ladders quite a bit. It's fun to play with him, if only there was nothing else to do then we'd play games all day every day! So if you are feeling up for a board game, come on over, Isaiah would LOVE to play with you!!

How fun! I LOVE that Eli is old enough for games now! It'll be even more fun when we can play as a family!
First off, I absolutely LOVE Stratego, it was one of my favorites as a kid too!!! Yay!!! And, Alisha, your blog is so adorable, can't wait to see pictures of Titus when you get a chance:) Congratulations and we'll be missing you at work.
