(In the picture below, Cecilia is on the left, Teresa is on the right, and 19-month old Lucia - who has yet to develop an interest in the game - is in the middle.)
We play on either a dry-erase board or a Doodle Pro.
It's a rather simple game: We divide the writing surface in tofour quadrants, and then draw four pictures in each of said quadrants. Then, the others have to guess - duh - which of the things is not like the other.
After only a few weeks, both Teresa and Cecilia have shown that they're far better at the game than I am, even without age-handicapping being factored in - not only because I can't draw to save my life, but also because they're darn good at figuring out which one of -- well, you know.
The other night while we were playing, the four pictures Cecilia drew were of a dog, a camel, a tree, and Jesus.
When she asked me to guess which thing didn't belong, I said, "Is it Jesus?" and she said, "Yeah!" And then I asked her, "Why is it Jesus?" - expecting her to say something like, "Because He's a man", but instead, she said, "Because Jesus is risen."
Brought a big smile to my face, she did.

Well, I'm quite stunned by Cecilia's answer to your question. And that's a toddler!
What really cute daughters you have =)
Sunnyday,
Thanks!
(They take after their mother.)
Nah, they definitely are just a tad like you as well! They are such gifts. You both have really done a great job at parenting.
