Life is a balancing act

The key to life is balancing the loads and pressures on you. Finn seems to be learning, or at least demonstrating, that lesson at an early age. Another key lesson is to persevere despite frustration. He also displays a working knowledge of that lesson.

Despite our pleadings, the number of toys he has increases rather consistently. Here's the typical toy he likes, an old earphone case that I was going to throw away before he stopped me. He also likes an old-style wooden puzzle. In this video, he combines the two to show the innovation that makes his engineer father proud.



Two simple toys create a fascinating game of balance. That creativity and excitement is always the best part of watching him. That last smile beams with pride and accomplishment.
