It's as if his brain has been on standby all summer....

As I wrote earlier, Tuesday was the first day of school and it appears that has woken Reed's brain up. I guess all the video games and podcast listening over the summer might have made his brain a bit mushy. He spent over an hour working on this drawing after he got home from school. It includes a bunch of different, very detailed video game characters, which he looked up on the computer to be sure he got them just right. And later he logged some time building with his Contraptions building set, which has been sitting untouched for the entire summer.

And all this despite the fact that he came down with a cold the night before school started, didn't sleep that well, and was still pretty congested.

Last night he played for quite a while, setting up an elaborate scene with a bunch of different Lego sets (which also had been untouched for the entire summer).

Now where can we sign up for year-round school?
