Fixing From Scratch Together

On 15th May 2018, J wanted to play with his police station set. It is a dismantled set kept in a box. On that particular day, he wanted me to fix the set together with him.

How the completed set looks

And this mummy of his is very bad in fixing boy's stuff & building Legos, etc. Looking at how my dear son pleaded with me to fix the set together with him, I obliged.

We opened the box. Gosh! There were some parts I had no idea where it should go. Then J would say, "Mummy, it is over here."

I had a hard time fixing this panel

And when I did it, J would reply, "Good Job!" How amusing!

Throughout the time when we were finding parts and fixing the set, he would use descriptive words and sentences like, "This piece is on the blue surface", "Look at the square... this is over here", "We put this on top", etc. I realise how much he has improved. He is able to describe, though sometimes the description isn't clear and sometimes he may find difficulty in explaining why.

Lastly, when we had to fix the lift in. Yes! That is his favourite part and he wanted to attempt it himself.

Building his Lift.
Loves his seriousness.

It is now time to play. I cherished our interaction moments and proud that he has improved tremendously, in my opinion. I would not have dreamed of these moments 1.5 or 2 years ago.
