“Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it .”

we play a lot of board games with the twins. and as much as playing Chutes and Ladders 3 times in a row can get me popping advil like pez i know that the kids enjoy it and its a good chance to teach them all about loosing with grace. my kids are not perfect and loosing can get to them at times however i try to remember that they are 4 and only human. what person doesn't like to win ya know however we try and explain this, if you win then that means that someone else has to loose. in these cases its usually me or daddy, sissy or bubby. so whoever wins we make sure to tell them "good job" and whoever looses we make sure to tell them "good job" cause in either case everyone tried there best which deserves a job well done!
just a thought
