creative kid

Will never ceases to amaze us.  When you think that the last thing he did is so creative...bam, he comes up with something new to blow us away!  Will has been working diligently on his daily Trio Block creations.  Some he completes based on the Trio Instruction books and others from his imagination.  Both equally great.
For the last 2 days, however, Will did something new.  Something amazing.  Something I would never have expected a 5 year old to do.   He was sitting at the table coloring something.  I looked over and asked "what are you drawing?"  His response "making my instructions for my creation of the day."  OK.  I looked over... and in fact, he was drawing the individual pieces and the numbers of each needed to make a new creation.  He then took his "instructions" and made a creation using only the pieces he had allocated for them.  What is neat, is that he actually drew the pieces before making it.  AMAZING.  Yesterday he made a building.  Today, a helicopter.   He then asked me to take a picture of the creation to print it on the back of his instructions.... just like in his book!  How could you not SMILE and be so proud of him.  We love this little guy!
 
Helicopter Instruction pieces and a picture for reference when making it =)
He made me take a picture of the front and back (just like in his Trio Instruction book).

Building instructions and picture.

Here is what his Trio book looks like...

Just for fun... here a few more of his recent creations.
