What comes in a hundred little pieces, becomes one larger unit, and can keep a boy and his dad out of the kitchen long enough for Mom to make dinner?
Lego’s! These marvelous sets that Santa brought Jake for Christmas become rolling vehicles like big rigs, race cars, bulldozers complete with wheels that turn, parts that become gas pumps, and even drivers wearing the coordinating helmet for the vehicle’s work.
I’m grateful for the time Tony and Jake spend connecting. After a day of teaching, Tony enjoys connecting Legos and connecting relationally with our son. Jake squeals, “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy,” as he ascends with great speed into his run, leap, smash, hug, and ends with a spit flying “plthhhh” – you know the sound that boys make as they stick their tongues between their lips and make that silly sound that sends them into giggles. I believe it’s the boy version of giving Dad a kiss.
