Hello all,
My grandson really wanted to be involved in my harbor project, too.
Well, here is his handiwork—though, in our zeal to get the job done, we unfortunately forgot to snap photos of the various construction stages.
Still, the few pictures we do have say it all.
It was an experience for both of us, but we found common ground in the detailed construction work. He wanted to assemble everything with great precision—though, as is often the case with children, patience is something that has to be learned.
And so, the assembly process became like a puzzle: soldering a small part here, while waiting for something else that had been glued to dry.
In this way, he learned to be patient—all on his own.
I myself first had to learn how to interact with my grandson—not exactly an easy task for an old geezer like me.
But he’s already looking forward to our chaotic, labor-intensive crafting sessions—and to working on those old model boats from the former GDR, the ones called "Müritz."
Michel-C.
PS: I already reported on this in another thread back in August.
