Yesterday afternoon, Seth begged me to come upstairs and build a Lego robot kit with him. It was one of those times when I really wanted to get laundry folded and the the bed made, and...well, you get the picture. But I remembered what I have heard older mothers say so often, that these times with my kids are only for so long. So up I went.
We sat in the bonus room floor surrounded by the tiniest, most intricate Lego pieces imaginable. Seth was flipping the instruction booklet, snapping together pieces posthaste. As I am not spatially gifted, I often have to depend on my sons to quickly acertain where pieces go...but we eventually got most of it together. As I was telling Seth how impressed I was that he was so good at this, and that he was much better than me, he said, "Don't worry, Mom, if you make a mistake; you can just laugh at yourself and have fun." Words to remember in more situations than just Lego building.

Diadra, I, too, used to build Lego kits with Stewart when he was Seth's age and younger. We would go to Target and he would pick one out and when we got home, he was ready to put it together!! Fun times to remember. I also remember that we gave Stewart a Lego Pirate Ship one year for his birthday, and when Dan lived with us that summer, HE helped Stewart put that together!! What a project that kept both of them busy All of that Sunday afternoon!! Thank you, DAN!! Love, Bethany
