SCRAMBLE

I picked Bella up from school the other day and

she requested on the car ride home we play

SCRAMBLE

like scrambled eggs

SCRABBLE you mean?

Yeah... I mean scrabble.

I was impressed in first grade she had a word bank large enough to play scrabble.

So we played scrabble and ate cupcakes with blue frosting Luke and I had made that morning.

I layed a word.

Then she layed a word off mine.

Impressive I thought.

I layed a word, then...

she was stumped.

After a

long

long

long

time thinking,

she said,

"Mom this is really hard!"

Finally, she got one...

but this time it she didn't lay it in connection with any words on the board.

She just plopped it down like no big deal, wherever she thought fit!

I knew it was a little bit advance for a first grader,

so we put words all over the board wherever we thought fit and

played first grader scrabble that day.
