Lego table is up again!

Patience

I think I know why Adora is so good at puzzles. It came from her baby blessing. With Naomi, Andy blessed her with the ability to make friends easily. Oops. Now we have a child who won't stop talking, has trouble paying attention in school, and has to be separated from the other girls in her class. :) At least she has friends. Sabian is the typical pesky brother like any boy should be. Andy had foresight into what Adora would really need to cope with her older brother and sister. He blessed her with patience. She started doing puzzles very early, at 15 months, to give her something to do while Naomi and Sabian did gymnastics. She took far more interest in them than Sabian ever did. She's also my child that enjoys books the most. She can sit in my lap while I read through a full story. She also sits and reads to her baby doll. Granted, she can still throw a tantrum like any toddler, but all in all I think that baby blessing did her some good.

Naomi is determined to get one of her creations published in Lego Brickmaster Magazine. Just in case that doesn't work out, I published it here for the world to see. I like this one.

Lego Train

Sabian is obsessed with trains right now, so I decided to let Andy set up his train table early to display his Lego train for Halloween. He'll still do his regular winter scene with his O scale train for Christmas. He gets pretty excited about his Christmas Garden. He also plans to do a layout for his HO and N scale trains too. Yes, that means I will have no space left in my front room. At least it keeps Andy and the kids happy. The neighbors say they can see it too from the highway. Someday Andy hopes to consume the house with his trains and have a display like Mr. Sanda's house by the airport. If he can match Joel Sanda, then Andy will open his house to the public too. He's a long way from that. Here's a picture of his Lego train. It is surrounded by his Bionicle creations. He's trying to win more tracks off of ebay to finish it.
On a side note, we started full force potty training with Sabian on Friday and he is doing very well. He's successful about 90% of the time. Now we've just got to conquer the elusive no. 2. I'm open to suggestions.
