Can we make it? Yes we can.

We had a very long rainy trip to the grocery store this morning, but we came home and had a nice early lunch (10am- this is lunch time when you wake up at 530 and have breakfast at 545) of bologna and cheese sandwiches. While I was reading something on the computer, I looked down and saw that James had brought in his box of Duplos to dump them out next to me. The next time I looked he had built this extravegant design; I was surprised because these things used to frustrate him pretty quickly. I couldn't believe he had the patience to put it all together without help, and even balance some non-Lego objects in there- including a key chain!

Mike, I am impressed, he has quickly surpassed my Lego abilities. You have inspired me to let Mike and Em have a go at the Duplos....maybe now they will do more than put them in their mouth. And I hear you about 10 am lunch...isn't that when everyone eats lunch??

Good building James. You know, I read somewhere that constructive behaviour (as opposed to destructive) is a huge developmental milestone.

Steph- rest assured, there are no pictures of the throwing Legos across the room or at the dogs or window. That is when we stop- and learn about cleaning up.
