His current obsession is Farkle (which he plays by himself if he can't get anyone to play with him; I'm really not sure if he's just doing the math for each individual turn, which I know he can do, or if he's trying to keep full score on paper...he does write things down but I don't know what). He also has been making up games with these: http://www.amazon.com/GeoCards-Worl...qid=1358993721&sr=8-1&keywords=geo+cards (Oh lord, please don't make me play them any more.)

He is actually a very good candidate for a skip EXCEPT that his writing is really not there. I think he's still a bit ahead, importantly, he dislikes it. His spelling also is nowhere near where his reading is--end of K level at best.
