Playing Uno

Claire and Cameron love to play Uno.

The only concession we have made to their tender young age is that everybody puts their cards face-up. It's hard for them to hold a hand full of cards when they are bopping around waiting for their turn - and it makes it easier for Katy and I to lead the right card in the right situation.

It's funny to see their reactions to the game. They don't yet seem to grasp the concept of "winning." Cameron often chooses not to say "Uno" when he is down to one card because he wants to draw four more cards. Both of them seem to find it funny to be skipped, and are quite pragmatic about getting hit with a Draw Two or a Draw Four-Wild card.

How long will this last? I'd give it a year or so, tops.
