Much as it's been since they were three, the boys still play with Legos as their hands down favorite toy (except for video games, of course, which Addison would play non-stop until he died of hunger or his bladder exploded, much like Jeff circa 1997). Asa still prefers mechanical endeavors. Addison doesn't care to use motors, but he likes designing Star Wars ships, tanks and army vehicles. Either way, their creativity comes to life on a daily basis. They have drawers, containers and bins full of meticulously organized pieces and parts to aid in their construction. If only they could get out and organize Jeff's workshop in such a fashion. I'm glad to see that my passion for organization has passed on to the next generation. I knew sorting those colored bears into different cups as a toddler would pay off.
When Asa needs a new idea, he likes me to help him surf around on YouTube looking for tutorials and videos to get ideas from. Lately, he's been wanting me to help him make his own videos so people can see the things that he comes up with. For a boy who can be shy and self conscious at times, I think this is a great way for him to practice public speaking and build his confidence. Addison likes to make videos as well, but I think he's pretty much topped out in the self confidence department!
