jack the builder

it's interesting the change that is occurring in our household these days. not only is jack continuing to have more good days than bad, but he's beginning to play. like, rather than just running around with trucks in hand, he's now zooming them across the kitchen floor, driving them over my toes with a chuckle; he's building tall towers with blocks; starting and completing puzzles; coloring and placing stickers in just the right spots on his construction paper.

i happened to catch him on a particularly sunny afternoon, building quite the block structure. and, he's really big on placing blocks just so, so as there looks to be a doorway. quite the budding architect. all things eventually come to an end when he decides it's time to knock everything over in a frantic mess. ok, so he's still a total boy!

  1. Grant is the same way! He actually plays 'pretend' now! He is creative and uses his toys as other things, like his shopping cart becomes a stroller, a grill or a fire pit. I love this age! Let their imaginations run wild :)

  2. yes! i've noticed the pretend, imaginative play. he sees pictures of food in books and pretends to eat them. we bought him a kitchen for christmas so i'm excited to see all the play to come with that...
