So he is without wireless internet access, but until that happened he had been able to do his brain training on Tuesday and Wednesday last week. Wednesday saw him move up to 24th percentile for flexibility and up to 9.1st percentile for problem solving - his best yet! Whoohoo!
On Wednesday he made the 30s! for his overall BPI percentile - 30.5th. He had started at less than 10th - he just keeps improving. Wednesday's games included another personal best for a game he likes - the cafe game about remembering names to faces and their orders.
And he may be applying some problem solving to real life. His dad and I were away for part of the weekend. When asked earlier in the week A-One chose not to join us. However, when we were about to depart A-One asked where everyone was and commented that without internet there would be nothing for him to do. I reminded him that he could have come with us, but it was too late now.
As we were driving away I asked his sister to text him about free WiFi at the local library and that we could look up bus timetables if he wanted to take his laptop. We didn't hear anything. Later on when I was talking to him he informed me that he had brought his laptop down to the study, unplugged his dad's laptop and plugged his in to access the cable internet. Necessity the mother of invention?
Anyway, yesterday and today he has been happily ensconced at his dad's desk with his own laptop connected (until his dad needs to use his desk) . He showed me his Wednesday scores, and when we saw that information processing wasn't included in Wednesday's games, he proceeded to choose and play an additional game without even so much as a whimper of protest. In fact he showed some disappointment with his score having made only two errors.
