January 18th--Xplorers initiation (indoctrination?)

Carl and I have been enjoying playing an online version of Settlers of Catan called Xplorers. Erik has enjoyed watching us play. Finally Carl let him play by himself. He loved it! And, he's pretty good at it, with a decent understanding of the strategy. Not too bad for a 6-year-old. He now likes to play against Carl and the computer. So far, Carl hasn't let him win.
