Interactive Learning with a Creative Munchkin

Zachary and Chad play this game that only boys play. It is a wrestle / climb / trap kind of thing. Essentially Z will jump on Chad and climb all over him until Chad "traps" or holds him down (in a very gentle manner of course!) with a leg or an arm over Z.

Then Zachary can only be freed by answering a little piece of trivia -- this is how he makes it educational! Chad will ask -- how many toes do you have? or What color is a banana?

This past week Zachary showed us his creative side and I am too proud not to share.

One time Chad asks "what animal roars?" -- your thought? A lion? Mine too. Zachary's? A Dinosaur.

Another instance -- Chad asks "what animal has a long neck?" Your answer -- a giraffe? Exactly - mine too! Zachary's? A llama!!!

He really is brilliant isn't he? I am not just a biased mother?? OK maybe not ready for MENSA but you have to give him points for thinking outside of the box.
