Chutes and Ladders

Upset about losing to Daddy even though he still beat Mommy

Excited about beating Mommy and Daddy

Tyler got a strong dose of the Hulett competitive streak. He threw a full out tantrum when Michael beat both Tyler and me at Chutes and Ladders. Tyler kept shrieking, "I wanted to win!" We somehow managed to calm Tyler down and convinced him to play again. Tyler won the second game. A few times during the game he said, "I'm going to leave Daddy in the dust." Where does a 3-year old learn such smack talk?
