Emily is in chess club. Have I mentioned that before? She clearly did NOT get the desire to sit around, watching little pieces move around a board, from me. I have the patience for one game. But Miss Em has been to 3 chess tournaments this year. They usually play about 7 - 9 games at each tournament. The first one...well, it wasn't so successful. But we had fun. She got a little better at the last tournament. Then this tournament, she won 2 games!!! And although she did not get a trophy, we couldn't be more proud and, n, I can't believe that my little 7 year old is mastering moves like "The 4 move Check Mate!" What a smarty pants! It was the first tournament my parents were able to make it to. Maybe Grandpa and Grandma are good luck???
