We are in the "Uno" phase of life. I didn't know such a phase existed, but apparently, there is a point in the development of a young child when every waking minute is consumed with the desire to play Uno. Princess daughter is obsessed; so much so that she has changed the rules so that her objective is to avoid giving out all her cards, and thus, delay ending the game. And I often find her dealing 10, 11 cards rather than the typical seven or eight to start with.
She is brutal. She loves to put down cards that contain the word "draw" - she even has an evil laugh that goes along with that action. The funny thing is, we all know exactly what she has in her hand since she hasn't quite developed the dexterity to hold the cards fan-style, but lays them out on the table. It's hard not to develop a little bit of strategy when you're able to see what you're up against.
The minute dinner is finished (which is usually in less than five minutes for this active school-girl) and the requisite request is made for "bessert" (sometimes granted, sometimes not), the Uno cards come out. It's become a nightly ritual. Uno! I mean - so long.

She's pretty brutal, though, she teams up with one parent against the other one whichever way works in her favor.
She also celebrates whenever she draws a "draw" card.
Then, she celebrates no matter who wins after the game is over. Funny kid
Looks to me like she almost stole the show. Good thing the bride is beautiful, too.
The above comment was supposed to go under the wedding pictures. What can I say, I'm old.
