This afternoon Elliot went into the front closet and came out with Karl's blue box of legos. This wasn't the regular ones, but the gears and wheels set, and so we made cars. "Make another one," he kept telling me, holding out another gear or wheel for me to use. We had a very low block to gear ratio, so the cars are pretty minimalist, but here's what we made:
He's not to the point yet where he's going to be designing and building on his own, but I think he grasped well the awesomeness of Lego, and for that I'm proud, and I know Karl is smiling. We'll no doubt be searching out the other hidden Lego stashes for further building over the next few weeks.
