Logic Puzzles

I allowed Ian to load some apps on the iPad and of course he chose Bubblewrap and some rollercoaster thing.  But then I walked by last night and saw he was playing a rather difficult logic game, one where you move blocks to escape.  I tried playing it... I conquered it of course, but it was pretty hard.

For the kid who struggles a little more than he should with homework, this is something that thrills my cold, little heart.  I know he's smart and the fact that he seeks out intellectual challenges is simply proof of it.

Later that night I caught him playing with a word jumble - again making me happy.  THEN, the little stinker crawled up on the couch, squished into the tiny space next to my legs and helped me play a few puzzles.  It was great bonding time you just don't imagine a thirteen year boy would seek out.

He's a great kid.
