This past week end T and I went to Lowes again to build a new toy. This week we built a garage for the #48 Lowes car. It also came with the #48 car so he would have one to park in the garage. T was very excited to go this week. We had other things to do this week and tried to persuade him to miss this week, but he just kept talking about the race car. So, off to Lowes he and I went. We had to rush it a bit to make it to our next stop, but that was not a problem. I had T put the sticker on the car to make it the race car, and he was pretty much done. he just wanted to play with the car, and left me to the job of assembling the garage. I tried to get him to help, but the few hits he attempted with the hammer were a little less than enthusiastic. I wasn't about to do any forcing, so I just finished the project and we were on our way. Here is what it looks like:

good call on finishing it yourself. I did something similar with my boy last year when we collectively failed to build a birdhouse. No reason to ruin a good moment by forcing a kid to do something he doesn't want.
