sitting here like oh-shit suppressing the urge to help when I see him mess up in a way that he will only realise in 5 steps and then reverse them one by one. Very proud of his tenacity though.

when I was a toddler, allegedly, I got so mad when attempting to sort something (or stack something, haven't refreshed this story in a bit. I think it was legos) that I pulled up the vent cover and threw them down the vent, so at least your kid isn't throwing exceptions? shrug-outta-hecks

I mean it depends on how tired he is and I imagine that when he starts seeing successes he will get progressively more frustrated at failures. But he definitely has that thing where he will be completely wrapped up in something and his entire existence is outside of space-time until he is able to reach an acceptably succesful state in his game. No amount of noise or coldness or us talking directly at him in front of him seemingly registers. I know it does because of how he acts once he finished his current action but he remains in deep concentration until then. Which seems rather unique to him compared to other kids but I recognize it way too well 😶
