Insatiable Appetites

My kids are both exhibiting insatiable appetites, and no, not for food. Clara cannot get enough of books lately. She surrounds herself with books and flips through them, and she's always asking someone to read her a book. You can read her ten books in a row and she'll still want more. Or, she'll ask for the same book many times in a row (One Was Johnny and Curious George are current favorites).

Lee, on the other hand, has no interest in reading at the moment. What she wants to do is play games. Games, games, and more games. We play Dominoes, Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, Cuckoo Zoo, and Wig Out. Again and again and again. She also plays Sets on the NY Times web site every day. She does really well - easily solving the Basic level games, and usually finding five out of six of the sets on the Advanced level games.
