Build, Destroy, and Repeat!

I bet there are also other moms out there who have this dilemma - kids still have energy even if it's past 11 in the evening!

My little one is always like this, he sleeps late, the worse thing though is that he won't allow me to sleep as he wants me to play with him. Last night, he wanted me to build a marble-run race track. I don't want to play and told him we must go to sleep but he started crying and all explanations that I was telling him were not helping at all.

So I went next to him and started building the marble run race track. I had to start from scratch because he had already disassembled that of which his father built that day. I went ahead and started making one.

Well, I found it very therapeutic! I was building and my mind was in the focus on what's the next one to put in, should I add another funnel or should I go with a slide?

It was certainly fun and after a few minutes, I told him to try putting in a marble! It worked well and I was satisfied with the work I had done! We played a couple of times but he started pulling out the pieces again! I think kids really are like that, they'll easily get bored and would just destroy those which we had assembled.
