Hailey likes crafty type things. So when we were in Old Navy returning some items, she saw this bracelet kit at the checkout counter. She was itching to spend the money in her wallet and it was a reasonable price so I let her make the purchase.  She asked me to help her figure out how to do it and finally I gave in at the lake house one night. Only it was late and it hurt my brain to try to figure out the instructions. After messing with it for a bit, I gave up. I used to like doing cross stitch and making these french knots in pieces of fabric that had designs in them. I don't enjoy anything like that anymore. If it takes a long time or requires super detailed tiny work, I am out! I would rather buy the item.

So last week, Hailey approaches me and asks me if I could help her again. I told her I just couldn't do it and to go ask Brady. She did and he looked at me like "Are you serious?"  I told them both straight up that I couldn't understand it. So he and Hailey spent the next hour and a half reading the instructions and figuring out how to make it - which he succeeded in and the darn thing is super cute. It is too complicated for Hailey to do correctly unfortunately. Too many strands to move and keep track of for her right now. Brady made a second one in no time now that he knows how it works. She has enjoyed wearing them and tickled me yesterday when she asked me to keep it safe while we were at the splash pad in Norman. 

*We did see the same wheel in the gift shop at gymnastics Monday afternoon. The package said for ages 8+. Hmmm. I think it is for ages 8 plus people who have patience :)
