Owen is really into Lego’s right now. Anything Lego’s - he loves it. It use to be that he’d just sit there and watch me as I put them together. He would look ahead in the instruction book and get the right pieces ready for me when I needed them.
Tonight - all that changed. He asked me to make one - and then he started to make one. It took him a little bit longer than it took me - but he did it. From step #1 to step #15 - he made a helicopter. All. By. Himself.
He was so proud of himself. He didn’t complain when he got stuck. He didn’t get upset when he couldn’t find the right part. He did it. I was so proud of him too.
But - to be totally honest….a part of me was sad.
