We’ve had that model plane for — I don’t even know how long. Over a year. Maybe more.
“At some point, we’ll put it together,” I assured E, and myself.
And so as we were packing for this end-of-the-year trip, we had the idea that we could take the model and put it together here, in Hilton Head. Most of it, though, the Boy did himself. I wanted to be involved, but I also wanted him to have the experience of assembling it alone. I helped when he requested it.
This morning, he finished it.
In the afternoon, a stop at Piggly Wiggly — they still exist!
And in the evening, a walk on the beach,
some time in the hot tub,
and games in the condo.
