There's something about childhood innovation that's so precious. We have access to incredible amounts of technology --real, actual, usable TVs and phones and computers-- but somehow, Brady always prefers to "make" his own machines, typically using cardboard boxes.

This is the "computer" he made this weekend. He sat at it this morning and happily pecked away at the old (and non-functional) keyboard that Adam gave him. A few minutes after I took this picture, he decided that he wanted it to be something else, so he cut a hole in the back wall and propped a tablet behind it so he could "watch TV."

I so love his creativity and his desire to build -- and to work and enjoy the fruits of his own labor.
