That’s a wonderful story!
My 3 and 6 year old love lego kits. Historically I found myself sitting with them and helping when they got stuck or directing them when I saw they made a mistake. More recently I decided to pick up my own kit and build along side them. I’m currently working on the Saturn V rocket. It’s been a lot more fun for me and a way to bond with my kids.

I am also in the middle of building the Saturn V Rocket. I picked it up after seeing that Amazon was stocking it again, which I thought was awesome since I missed out on the first run of them. I just got done with bag three. I haven't played with Lego since my teens. I'm in my mid-late 40's now. My kids are grown and I'm widowed, and I find a lot of peace in a lot of pieces ;)
My mom got into adult lego when she took apart my child hood lego and reassembled them to resell.
Now we mail each other sets that the other is done with, and it gives us a great opportunity to connect. We're both anxious people and there's something relaxing about just assembling something where everything has a place.
When she found out there's a lego con in my town, she made plans to come visit me so we can go together and I can show her around the city I just moved to.
