Tyler's word of the day

Tyler will soon be 8 years old and during these years he throws in words that jump out at me as unusual or not commonly used (especially by children). He does like to read particularly video game guidebooks which are geared toward the older reader. Yesterday, Tyler said that all players must be at the end of the screen to proceed. Hmmm, he used it correctly so I decided to look up the definition of the word.

Proceed

Definition:

1. begin action: to go on to do something
2. continue with action: to continue with a course of action
3. progress: to progress in a steady or particular manner
4. go in particular direction: to go in a particular direction, especially forward
5. develop: to come from or arise from something
6. law sue: to bring legal action against somebody

I'm glad to see that his reading is helping his vocabulary and it keeps me entertained.
