Abby has finally discovered the fun that is Legos. However, she has the patience to put together a fifteen piece set, but the desire for my 100+ piece ship set (from when I was a kid). That is of course how Jessica got roped into putting together the ship set. She is still working on it. It is now going on hour five or so. The problem is that many of my sets were all jumbled together so she has to find the right pieces inside of the thousands of pieces across the floor.

Jessica asked, “Are you laughing at me yet?”
To which I replied, “No, you have to learn to think in Lego.”

Thinking in Lego is what I would call the ability to see the spacial requirements of the project and instinctively be able to find the shapes and pieces simply because you know what Lego has to offer. I used to be able to do this, but at present my patience and lack of recent experience puts me at about a 30 piece kit. Jessica is a completer, though, so she will complete what she starts. I have learned to not commit to anything that I know will take more than two minutes. Which is about as long as this post has taken me, so it must be done.
