Ordinary Maine

I have been waiting for the day when Camden would be old enough for Legos. I was hoping that this Christmas would be the time, but given that Madilyn only 2 we decided to ask Santa to hold off on Legos for a year. Well then Cousin Keith entered the picture and bought Camden as starter set anyway. His was not aware that we were trying to put off the use of these toys for another year. Anyway, Camden loves Legos.

Well he just happens to turn 5 this coming Friday and due to the long (and weather filled) weekend we decided to let him have his Birthday Legos early. I can tell you that is great fun to build these set and for the most part the sets of today are just as neat today as the were when I was a child (editor's note: Yes, I know many still think I am a child.).


Last night we worked on the motorcycle above. This one took quite a bit of time, but together we made it happen. Often times I would show Camden how to place the pieces, but he is pretty good at guessing where things go. He also knows how to ready the pictorial directions when I try to quiz him. That's pretty cool.
