I have enjoyed readying about many of the challenges by browsing older posts. The only challenge I've participated in so far is the day 1 challenge but I really did enjoy thinking through what my little guy enjoys and what he is good at doing. I will kepp it where I can remind myself. Since Jack does not try new things easily, I will keep my list of what he likes at the ready so I can mix the new and the old to make a smoother transition.
