John set out to help Amelia get started and I opened up Gemma's package of supplies. I told William I would help him as soon as I got Gemma underway.
William agrees, but then took his bag of prepackaged supplies and moved to the cement ground area and spread everything out. Moments later, he was hammering together industriously with a craft sized hammer. He seemed to have a handle on the situation and wasn't asking any questions. I helped Gemma complete her project and then turned to check on William.
It was perfect timing as he had all the pieces of the project together except one and it wouldn't fit. I asked William what step he was on in his enclosed direction sheet. He looked up at me, surprised.
"There are directions?"
I showed him the step by step directions page.
"Oh. Huh. I just looked at the picture on the box and put it together."
This made John and I both laugh out loud as this is totally what grandpa Kevin would do.
In this case, we needed to take a few things apart and rotate one piece to make everything work.
