This week I'm sharing with you an unexpected joy of motherhood: the oft Lego-strewn floor and the intensely creative brain of the child engineer who could build, build, build and still come up with new ideas all day long. Aaron has a unique brain. I think. And I get to see it shine when he's in his Lego universe. What a blessing it is to be his mom and to watch him at something he enjoys so thoroughly and is so skilled at!
I had no first hand exposure to Legos when I was a child and always thought of them as the toys that strange little boys played with. It certainly never occurred to me that they would be a favored item in my own home one day. It appears I was wrong in my assumptions, and I now understand that Legos are the toys of fantastically awesome little boys!
I love "Embrace the Ordinary" at Someday (Hopefully) They'll Be Saints! It's a gentle nudge each week to intentionally seek out God's goodness in the seemingly mundane.
I was so very happy to co-host with Gina these last two weeks! Please join her and me in celebrating the little things - the blessings sometimes in disguise - and link up your own story or photo of "embracing the ordinary" things that make every-day life awesome!

situations, and it is up to each one of you to discover it."

We love Legos!!
ReplyDeleteI finally have my post up and the linky ready. What a day/week/month. Thanks for hosting with me!! If you'd like, I'll have you again sometime! <3
Tat truck makes me so happy with the precision color and symmetry. My brother and I would spend hours building cars and then having a crash derby. Or, I loved to take all the Legos, organize them by color, size, and shape and creat a store. I would then build a cart and go shopping for the pieces I needed. So fun!
