Budding Architect

Like most little boys, Miles love to walk in the steps of his father. Many of us close to him have known this for a very long time.  That includes his Aunt Beth and Uncle Nick.

While we lived in New York,  Beth and Nick bought this treasure for Miles!

One of New York’s finest buildings – The empire state building, ala lego. However, due to the 10+ year old rating and the 77 very small pieces, this box remained intact and atop Miles’ dresser for the last 2 years or so. Things changed very recently during one very rainy weekend.

Nate mentored Miles through the 25 pages of instructions as Miles assembled the whole thing.

 

Aren’t they adorable while they think and study?!

 

Here’s a few process shots:

 

 

And the final product!!

 

Ah,New York! Sometimes I miss you (a little).

Thanks, Nick and Beth, for the fantastic gift. Your perfect timing for this purchase led us to a great family moment on a cold, rainy Chicago afternoon talking about our NYC memories. 

I think the smart people of the world call these teachable moments. Thank you for encouraging our budding architect!
