I spent my birthday just staying home and building this fancy R2-D2 Lego set yesterday. No, it’s not finished yet. Which is fine!  I wanted something that would take me a few nights to put together.

It’s actually my first lego set in years and years. I forgot how fun it was as a child to build these things. It got me thinking about my boy Kingston and when he’d be able to build his first Lego set of his own. I look forward to that day.

I often wonder when Kingston is ready for a lot of other “firsts”. Whenever I get together with my other friends who have kids I often get their feedback how old their kids were when these things happened. It’s always fun to hear!

  • When he can build his first Lego set that doesn’t just involve 2 pieces of Duplo sized parts.
  • When he’s ready for his first rollercoaster ride (we’re taking him to Disney next year)
  • When he can seriously join me for some online video game deathmatch (he’s already surprised me how good he is at figuring out how to play my iPhone apps)
  • When he’s able to have his legs long enough to peddle a regular bicycle with me.
  • When he might be able to join me for a morning jog (yea right, my dad couldn’t get me out to run with him)
  • When he can settle down enough he can sit through a whole movie theatre experience with me. (perhaps for an “Avengers 5” movie?)

The list can probably go on…it’s nice to have all these things to look forward to!
