Over a year ago, Cooper talked me into letting him buy himself a (cheapy) Rubik's Cube at Dollar Tree. It didn't work well and the stickers peeled off, but it was clear he was really into it. So the next time he had an Amazon gift card, he purchased himself a nicer one. Miles got himself one too.
After he got a 3x3, his next purchase was a 2x2. It's still one of his favorites. One night I saw him in bed with his light on and could hear the rhythmic sound of a Rubik's.
I walked in right about the time he solved it!
From then on, it's been an obsession. He often has one in his hand spinning and turning it....
like during haircuts.
We have enough of a collection around now that there is more than enough for everyone to play.
But that doesn't stop the boys from ordering more when they have Amazon cards.
It's always fun when a new one arrives.
And then it's time to see if they can solve them.
Cooper won a cylinder type in class shortly after school started.
It was a nice surprise since that was during the rough days of adjustment.
He mixed it up and solved it quickly!
His love for them continues and he had several on his Christmas list.
And he got several!
He has quite a collection.
And added at least two to this after his birthday.
Apparently there is math and algorithms or something involved...
So spin on, my boy, spin on! :)
