Something about Noah you may or may not already know. Noah is an Engineer by heart. I don't know if that's what he will be but he would certainly be good at it. Since he was two he has been enjoying taking his toys apart, watching how we put batteries in, and helping us when things like DVD players mysteriously get credit cards stuck in them. He loves it when a toy doesn't work, so he takes it apart and puts it back together(or attempts to rather). We have Geo train tracks that daily he puts together in some different shape and pattern. He is really good at making sure the loop is continuous and always meets up in the end. The track will go under couches over toys and books to make bridges of course. Now some moms might die when they hear Noah say "I need a screwdriver!", but am I really going to keep Noah from his creativity. Of course not. And we always are right there with him and his little screwdriver. It's a real screwdriver of course. Toy ones don't really work.
We hear from a friend that Lowe's has these projects for kids to do. They are free on a first come first served basis. Noah in his cute little Lowe's project has made a pirate ship with a plank that retracts and an opening and closing treasure chest. He loves the little hammers and I love that they don't hurt my fingers or his!
I'm sure you can imagine the disadvantages to this talent our son has, but I love my little engineer whether you follow in Grandpa's footsteps or not.
Pictures soon to follow!
