My Dreams, My Inspirations, My Daily Life: Boxes vs Bags

Today we decided to go to the toy store.

Russell tugged at my sleeve, "Mummy mummy can I buy that?". He pointed at a bag full of building bricks.

Remembering how he used to make a mess of his toys and creating a walking hazard with his toy soldiers, I hesitated. Beside the building bricks stood a whole shelf of model kits. Hmmm, these boxed kits are neater, need more structure and use up less space. I longingly imagine the pre-toys toddler days...

And suddenly, I remembered the article that I've read that "everything comes in kits" which "limits both boys and girls". Well, I will want him to have fun with experimenting too. Have fun failing. So that in future, if he fails at anything, it will not be a "world comes crumbling down" event, but rather, nothing more than a little sting, which he can quickly get over and move on to the next step forward.
