Claw

Julie has invented a game called "Claw." Above is a photo of Julie winning at Claw. See if you can guess the rules.

I think it's pretty clear, but I'll explain anyway just in case. You put an object on the floor and lower Lyla over that object. If she decides to grasp the object and holds onto it while you raise her, you win.

It's exactly like those claw games in arcades and certain restaurants. You only win about one out of twelve tries, and it feels rigged. But when you do win, you feel like your Jedi powers probably contributed.

On an entirely separate subject, Julie claims that she is a better baby photographer than I am. I'm beginning to agree.
