Dads Are Cooler Than Moms

It would have never even occurred to me that my 3 1/2 year old daughter would, a) be the slightest bit interested in, b) enjoy, and c) have the ability to assemble a Lego crane. That is why dads are way cooler than moms; they think of this stuff. Not only that, this particular Dad had the wherewithal and patience to sit down with her and actually let her build it. He helped her pick out the right parts and decipher the instructions, but 90% of the manual labor was left entirely to her. Even Baby Fi was totally taken in by the endeavor. Not only was it a cool project to do with Daddo, but now she has a toy that she LOVES to play with. Only a kid could conjure up things to do with a Lego crane for 45 minutes straight.

BORED.

And, we end with Maddie delighting in the self-satisfaction that can only come from having just built your own toy.
