Lego Love-Fest

With two sick kids this week, we were home-bound for a few days. I was sorry to have missed our home school group's field trip to The Field Museum in Chicago, but part of living means learning to roll with the punches (an always important and welcome reminder for me). Now Mina and Ari aren't always the best of friends, but for two whole days, side by side, they built a Lego city!  I listened to them planning, giving each other suggestions, piggybacking ideas off one another and role-playing as they went along.  All this, without any arguing, bickering, fighting, whining.  NONE!  For two, TWO, entire days!  I wish I'd gotten a photo, but I was soaking it all in, relishing in their camaraderie. Their relationship is notorious for being a bit tumultuous, so moments like these are especially important.  They are bonding. I just have to stop and take notice more often.
