Day 9: The really important things in life are free

The best and most important thing I did today was spend time with my son, Daniel.  He is an introvert and a quiet soul and I worry that his needs don't get met.  But today, despite the insanity that this week has become, I spent time with him.

He makes amazing things with Lego.  He made this:

I'm afraid at this moment I have no idea what it is.  The fact that it is as tall as he is is important.  I'm not sure why.  I can tell you it is 152 and a half cm long or almost exactly 5 feet, if I remember correctly.

It doesn't matter to me that I don't really know what this is all about.  Maybe reading this blog with encourage him to explain it to me.  I hope so.

We also got to do something that I haven't taken a picture of since just a few days after Daniel was born.

Wait!  If the Lego structure was about 5 feet tall then so was my son.  And his hand is way bigger than the little tiny hand I had to hold open when he was 5 days old.  I think I'm going to have to go and kiss him in his sleep, right this minute before he grows up anymore and I can't do that any more.
