Lego Architect

Wm is a super genius.  I knew he was into Legos...and that he was good at building stuff with Legos.  But he TOTALLY blew me away this morning!  He said he was going to go to build a Lego gorilla.  He had no instructions, no videos...nothing.  He was just going to go through the Legos he had and design and build a gorilla 100% on his own.  No help from anyone (including Daddy).  And what he came up with is AMAZING!!  The kid is 4 years old and he totally designed and built an AWESOME Lego gorilla! He even put a tail on the back, which cracked me up.  So, basically, I now believe my kid is way smarter than I am. Because I know there is no way on god's green earth I could even do that now!!

Wm is going to spend the night at Mimi and Guy's tonight while Steve and I go out to a fancy dinner and night on the town to celebrate Valentine's Day/my birthday.  Wm says that he is going to take a bunch of his Legos and teach Mimi how to build things.  He is very excited to go pick out and pack up the exact Legos he wants to take for this purpose.

Wm is not only a super genius, but a super sweetie as well.  He was up playing in his room last night and cut his finger.  He comes downstairs, shows me the cut, and asks for a band-aid.  It was a fairly icky cut and he was making The Big Face (with sad lip and quivery chin), so I picked him up and carried him upstairs, telling him he was being very brave.  We put a Star Wars band-aid on it and I kissed it better.  So then as he goes back to playing and I'm leaving his room, he puts down his toys, runs over and gives me a hug and says, "you know....you're a really good mom."  Super sweetie.
