Game Time

SharkMan and I spent the afternoon playing some of his favorite newly learned games. He spent about 30 minutes this afternoon playing Rush Hour Jr. He methodically would slide the cars back and forth until he could free the ice cream truck from the traffic jam. He would just smile with delight when he finally succeed. He played through all of the beginner level and started the intermediate level. Then, he started making up his own puzzles - which were difficult if not impossible to solve. Great gift Aunt T!

Last week, I introduced SharkMan to Blokus. It's a great game for non-readers. We have played it several afternoons. It's a wonderful improvement for mom over games like Candy Land. I love that SharkMan is now able to play some games with strategy and thought. He's a quick learner. He beat me for the first time this afternoon. This evening, we had family game time and he and Papa Shark tied for the win.
