I taught Lilly how to build a fire. It started with her
wanting to watch and help. Now that we are several weeks through winter she
has had plenty of practice and takes the lead. Here are
some photos of her hard at work....of course Lilly never gets
to actually light the fire and I make sure to use a safety lighter that is kept hidden and out of
her reach at all times.

| Then she adds newspaper under the kindling. |

| Then she puts the logs on the fire. |

She's going to make a great Girl Scout! lol She is so inquisitive and likes hands-on, I see! Give her a big hug from Grandma.
ReplyDeleteLove you guys!
She really is, I've been telling people this but they always think I am one of those parents who brag on about their kids. The truth is there are a lot of things Lilly is just average at but she really has a mind for engineering and mechanical thinking that I haven't seen in other kids her age. She does a great job with her lego's. I bought her a automoblox http://www.automoblox.com/automoblox-originals/automoblox-c9p-sportscar.html She is always taking that thing apart and putting it back together. They say that only 5% of the population can look at blue prints and picture drawing 3 demensionally in their head. I think she is one of those people.
