Merry

It has been a day of building and creating for my son and I — a blur of switches, gears and motors. Such was the theme of so many of his gifts.

I was sure the Lab Coat would be one of those gifts that would quickly be tossed aside, as soon as he realized it wasn't something fun. And it was, of course. But my son was encouraged to put it on just as we started working on a project together, and he wore it with great pride for virtually the entire day. And he looked adorable! (I've promised to make him a laminated ID badge to go with it.)

The Lego Robot we built and hastily programmed before bedtime made several attempts at it's assigned tasks, and promptly drove off the kitchen table. We'll try again tomorrow — this time on the floor.
