House of Cards

June 2, 2009

Attempting to stem the tide of the evening crazies, I handed Kiddo a box that contained 4 decks of cards and a Skip-bo game, all jumbled up. I thought if I suggested that he sort them, his OCD tendencies/numbers obsession might take over and keep him busy for a while. It worked.
When he was done I showed him what was “special” about the playing cards and he sorted one deck first into groups by number/letter…
and then into groups by suit.I think he was quiet for an hour. Sometimes I feel so masterful.
