Corwin is starting to play with the Zome kits I have, building some interesting structures. The last ones I saw were a stellated icosahedron and a hypercube projection. Zome is wonderful for such constructions because the overall design and precision of construction means that interesting shapes are relatively easy to put together.
Corwin has also been bugging me about finishing his model rocket kit, although sadly I haven’t had the time to get back in to that recently. Hopefully the contracting work is now slowing down enough that I can have my life back.
Charles is learning to type. For at least one of the games that he likes, he needs to type in his name. He’s not clear on how his name is spelled (past the initial ‘C’ and ‘h’) but if I tell him the letters, he can find them on the keyboard and type them without help. He’s definitely improved on using the mouse and can use that almost entirely on his own.
Alice is still trying to figure out the mouse. Mostly she just touches stuff on the screen and waits for Dad to do the mousing. She definitely likes keyboards.
Alice is still a hunt and peck typist
