Today was our first meeting and it was crazy and fun. The boys were so excited. Casey could hardly sit still. In fact I had to ask him several times not to do head stands on the couch. He also rocked the glider onto it's back. Josiah talked more to his team mates than I have ever heard him talk to friends. Luke's mom had to drag him out to the car fifteen minutes after the meeting was officially over. The best behaved one was the one I was most worried about, Porter. I sure did not expect Adaya to fall apart for half the meeting. I think I will let her watch a movie next week.
What I didn't expect today was for Josiah to show off his lego skills. Skills I didn't realize he yet had. He's played with Grandpa Smith's erectors, but only since Thanksgiving. He's played with lego motors and gears a little, but only since Christmas, and mostly he's just watched the big boys play. After today, I have a feeling that FIRST is going to be an organization that we will be getting to know well.
I wonder what would happen if I let him keep building on his model. It's really too bad that he can't keep working on it. We really do need the pieces to start our team model next week.
