Last year, my son was driving me crazy with rubber bands. He was doing everything with them and cleaning out my suppies. They were all over the house. We went to visit a new school for gifted kids. There were 4 boys playing with rubber bands like my son was into at the time. It must be sorta developmental that some kids need to do this. When I saw these kids with rubber bands I knew I just had to let this go and let him explore. I think it just helps to know we are not alone.
