Hi Friends,
As a guy, I tend to think I can figure things out on my own, which can be good sometimes but not so good many other times.
We were playing with some magnetic toys the other day and Jacob pulled out a book with instructions for making some different objects. I laughed and said I could make cool stuff without it but Jacob said mom is better at making stuff because she follows the directions. We then had a contest to see who could make something cooler - me with no instructions or him using the instructions.
Here was Jacob's creation:
Here is what I came up with:
Both are not bad, but mom sided with Jacob and declared him the winner... Oh well, perhaps there is merit to instructions after all.
Thanks for stopping by,
Brian
My vote also goes to Jacob...
Good post about kids and imagination. :-)
I do Lego by the book but I have more fun with the things that come out of my mind.
