We still laugh about the first time we played Candyland with Carter when he was 2. He was really excited about the game and played all the way through -- until he lost the game. Then he overturned the board and screamed "Die, Mommy and Daddy!" before collapsing on to the floor and sobbing.
Poor baby!
We have never intentionally lost a board game to let him win. We play fair and, to be honest, most of the time Carter loses on family game night. But he is over that trauma now, and when he loses he is just fine now.
But when he wins, he will rub it in our faces!
