Smallish moment:
he used my filming setup to make his own LEGO video (for YouTube!)
Today’s smallish adventure happened right at the kitchen counter.
I had my filming setup out from working on some art projects, and without any prompting at all, Isaac decided he wanted to use it to make his own video.
He gathered his LEGO pieces, and I helped him position set up my camera and lamp. Then I pressed record.
I didn’t suggest it.
I didn’t plan it.
I didn’t even realize he had been paying such close attention.
Apparently creativity is contagious.
It was really awesome watching him concentrate so carefully, following the tiny illustrated instructions, and talking to the camera like he’s heard people on YouTube do.
It was such a small moment. But it didn’t feel small.
Small adventures aren’t always outside the house.
Sometimes they happen under a warm light, with a pile of tiny pieces and a big imagination.
Sometimes they look like a child deciding, completely on their own, that they want to make something.
Moments like this remind me that creativity doesn’t have to be elaborate or impressive to matter.
It just has to be visible. When creativity is part of everyday life, it becomes something that feels normal and safe to try. Something worth exploring.
And sometimes, without even realizing it, we give the people around us permission to create too!
A very small adventure.
A very meaningful one.
My mom heart is so very full today!
