Little Man and I played checkers, chess, and several games on Superkids. He also toured me through Science News for Kids.

Kind of laid back today. No “formal math” but several hands of rummy, and joint time playing logic games at SuperKids. Loads of fun, it was, especially our alternating games of checkers against the computer….
Little Man also practiced cursive, something he’s doing daily these days. Skill and confidence are definitely improving, and he signed and addressed [...]
