CHESS CHALLENGE!

Carter has been working toward a goal for almost a year now, learning how to play chess! Carter loves to play games and Jeremy thought teaching him the game of chess would teach him some valuable characteristics like patience, problem solving, and strategic planning! Jeremy made a goal chart for him and once he finished a "level" he got to pick out a new toy, game, etc. He finished all seven levels a few weekends ago so we had a little graduation party for him. It was complete with graduation cap, a fancy new chess board, a membership to the United States Chess Federation, his choice of supper and the big treat was a weekend at the indoor waterpark! It is amazing how good he has become at this game! He has played some people online and actually beats them! He always wants to play me because I have no clue how to play! He is now working on a new chess challenge, level 8-15. I think we may have a Bobby Fisher on our hands!




Supper choice: Chocolate chip pancakes and sausage!
