Brent began the learning of checkers last night. He was thrilled to be taught, but got tired quickly. His favorite part was being crowned and getting to be king. We may have confused him some ...trying to explain strategy and all, but he handled it really well. Considering that the age that is appropriate for that game is 9, he played well. He enjoyed jumping dad's pieces and getting 'quarters'...what he called the pieces.
On sunday night before bed, we taugth them pick up stix. They really enjoyed that game. Clayton even got into that one....he got the black stick, which you can use to pull out the stick you want next so it's not touching the others. Clayton picked up on pick up stix quickly. But then again, so did Brent. He figured that since clayton got the black stick to use, he'd just use his fingers to do the same thing. Clever boys!
All for now!
