While cooking not long ago, completely oblivious to what was happening, Daniel was busy using the wooden blocks he hadn't used in over a year to build an obstacle course, replete with ramps, steps and a bridge for a tiny toy skateboard. It went on after dinner, perhaps over two hours of meticulous work, cutting small bits of scotch tape and working out how to fit together the square, rectangular and triangular blocks to make larger, sturdier structures. I was amazed. When I commented on Daniel's concentration and problem solving skills, he said, off-handedly, "Well if Evan," (our upstairs neighbour, 9) "can do it, so can I." Evan had made ramps out of card board.
