Josh reached his Brain Age Goal!

Josh is excited this morning!!! There is this game called "Brain Age".  He and  his father have been competing against each other since Christmas, as to who will reach "20" first!  Apparently, "20" is the highest score to reach that would reflect a healthy/brain that is performing at tip top level...lol...well, anyway it is a game that they really enjoy.  

Josh reached 20 this morning! And couldn't wait to call his dad to "kind of rub it in".  hehe

Brain Age has math facts, reading, sequencing, memory games, sudoku (a numbers game) and other different skills that stimulate the brain activity.  Each time one succeeds well in one level, another is added to your repertoire of activities.  

Such as...you may be asked to draw a picture from memory, things like that.  The Brainage guru who walks you through, is very encouraging, and will explain what to focus on...like for instance if he asks you to draw the state of FL.  After you draw it, he will show what it should look like beside your drawing, then give you hints as to what to focus on...such as for FL, you would focus on the pan-handle of the state.  It is pretty neat.  The kids love it...David and I enjoy it too!

So, Josh is feeling pretty pumped...now he can get on his MATH work and apply some of those math facts to his daily math lesson. : )

One more bit of info...Josh's birthday is tomorrow!!! He will be 10 tomorrow...can't believe !!!
