Hi Ho Cherry-O!

I love playing Hi Ho Cherry-O with Madi. I get such a kick out of her honest and blatant desire for me to lose! If I land on a bird or a dog and have to put 2 cherries back on my tree, she squeals with delight. And if I land on the bucket and have put all my cherries back, forget it! She'll throw her arms in the air and burst into a full-blown belly laugh! Of course, it's not quite so funny when she lands on one of those things! If she wins, we are both celebrating, and if I happen to win, she'll say, "Okay--now I get to win". Ahhh, the joys of teaching the concept of 'fair and square'....it sure is fun (for now).

If you "let her win", she'll know. Don't.
