Minecraft - Friend or Foe??

  My son is a lover of cyber and video games, wish he'd love school and homework just as much.   He's enjoyed Webkinz, Club Penguin...but now is new passion is Minecraft.  On one hand I am frustrated cause that's all he talks about as of late, wants us to watch him build his homes, talks about how he accidentally blew up this and that, how he can make roller coasters.. but on the other hand its great to see him passionate about something that gets his creative juices flowing.   He builds homes that have 7 or more floors, with beds, other cool furniture he's designed, windows with great views, he has signs on the walls and entrances that say Honeymoon Suite, Lobby, rent for cheap, all these things and many more he's come up with on his own.   I am hoping all this will turn into the love of architecture and he'll make millions one day, ewww the next Donald Trump!  This will probably be just another phase like the other things he's enjoyed, but for now I am enjoying his enthusiasm and creativity even if it is on the computer and not in school or homework, one day maybe :)
