Today I spent 2.5 hours building this LEGO treehouse. WHILE nursing!
In the beginning, is was internally rolling my eyes, having a bad attitude because:
1- I knew their dad would freak out if we didn’t follow the instructions*
2- There were WAAAY too many unnecessary tiny pieces (I CANNOT overstate this)
and 3- The finished product was only going to last .5 seconds.
Fast forward and hour. I was in. to. it. Each step and each page turn was a triumph!! I was SO EXCITED to get to the next step and felt a sense of accomplishment and rightness every time.
And for sure, there were WAAAAY too many unnecessary tiny pieces and the finished product did not stay the same for very long, but I will tell you this: that LEGO treehouse and accompanying pieces was played with for HOURS. And I was had become a master architect.
I would consider this a win!
*Let it be noted: I NEVER followed any instructions playing legos as a child. I rarely follow recipes to this day. Coincidence?
If you’d like to spend your own 2.5 hours feeling successful and having something at the end that will buy you some great time, find the treehouse here!
