the hidden engineer

I realize I've fallen seriously behind in my blog updates, so I'll try to recapture a bit of EliasWorld over the last month or so.

Perhaps it reflects God's sense of humour that He's given a nerdy, reserved scientist/engineer this exerberant, outgoing son who's showing such a literary and musical bent at such a young age.  It's wonderful to discover bit by bit how God has blessed and endowed him with talents so unlike my own, and I strive to help him flower as the person God created him to be.  Still, I'm keen to notice his achievements that are a little more up my own alley.  Thus, last month I was happy to find him building with his letter blocks, not just reading them!

Now that's a tower!  And look at that straight, solid foundation:  creativity and structural soundness!

whoa; that is one high tower.

Of course the most fun part is knocking it down afterwards!  Just like a little boy!
