With so many siblings, the kids don't get very many opportunities to be alone. So I really try to create "alone time" for each of them. It's during these times that I can assess their individual abilities, and they can play with what they want, how they want. I was surprised to find A building with the Legos. Sure, he's played with Legos tons of times, but never alone, and I was quite impressed with his creation. Way to go A! Build away, my boy.
