Syd plays her first game of Monopoly

Zack decided to teach Syd how to play Monopoly since it's his favorite board game. I thought he was crazy, but believe it or not Syd did great. She had a bit of coaching from both of us, but she can roll dice, count to her way to the space, and she knows numbers so she can even manage her own money (again with some coaching). I, nor anyone else I know, have ever beaten Zack at Monopoly, but Syd was actually doing really well. I took over for her about halfway through because she got sort of bored (though she stayed and watched) and we actually beat Zack. It was awesome. Pretty cool for a four year old.

Here they are playing.

Here's Syd adding hotels to her expensive properties. She even had a chance to add hotels to Boardwalk and Park Place (one of those was what made Zack go bankrupt and lose).

Here she is at the end with her wad of money.
