I would really really love to get into Kaden's mind! First off I know it never stops thinking. His brain is ALWAYS going with some idea or invention or thought or a way to solve things or or or. And the things he comes up with juist blow Keith and my mind away.
The other day we had filled up the trunk with a ton of rocks and on the way home he told me to pull into dads parking spot so it would be easier to unload the rocks right where we wanted them. Not a world shattering idea, but one I had not thought of yet as we were just leaving the rock house. Can't say I'd have thought of it until we got home either. But yet there was his brain working full time! He can seem a million miles away when you are talking to him, and yes sometimes I think he is, but yet you can ask him about what you just said and he's got the answer...not always exactly right, but close enough for how distant he seemed. He goes into his own little world all the time. I don't know if that's his happy place or what. But again his mind is going and going and going! I'm just utterly amazed at what he says or comes up with. Oh when he makes his own Lego designs, he doesn't throw pieces together, he thinks about what he's building and makes sure each Lego is there for a purpose. His way of doing things isn't always the easiest or necessiarly the "correct" way, but you can see his point in why he said what he did, or did what he did, and if not, he'll explain it.
Salem's brain doesn't work that way, while he is very very smart it's obvious his brain does not work the same. Not bashing Salem at all, he has his own quirks and such. Heck Kaden's brain doesn't work the way any of ours does, he is definately one of a kind! Salem likes it when Kaden comes up with the ideas and then he can benefit from them! (That's pretty smart I think) Such as bike courses. Kaden will make them and Salem will ride them.
Right now Kaden has been working on making a bike course in our yard. The 1st one of the season. He's been outside for over 2 hours now plotting out the course in his head, staking it out, putting up caution tape and making it real! That is his thing. He puts his heart and soul into making it. Somedays he's not even all about riding the course more than a few times. It's the building of it that he enjoys the most!
I have no clue what he's going to grow up and be, but I do know whatever he does it will be some place where he can use his mind to the fullest...or I hope it is!!
If you ever have a few days to sit and watch him play, or give him a problem and see what solution he can come up with...it'll just blow your mind!
