memory

Jenny and Neville bought Timothy the game Memory for Christmas, and the first time I played it with him was almost the last time. It takes a lot of patience to teach a three-year-old the basics of turning over the card so all can see it, turning over only one at a time, turning the card back over when a match isn't found, and turning over only two cards. Melissa was here and can attest to the way my words were clipped and the agonized tone in my voice when the game finally ended. However, Tim doesn't have to be taught most things more than once before he understands what must be done. He struggles actually doing it at times, but we all do. This is a great game and one of my favorites from my childhood.
