Well, it has been awhile since I added anything to the blog, but I think that the past few months could be summed up in one word -- “Building”.
In February, “Bob the Builder” returned to the Children’s Museum and the girls had to go see him, again for AJT04 and for the first time for AJT07. We were able to go see him one weekend and then at the end of March, Mommy and both girls went down to see him and the crew again.
Also in February, the girls built hearts from Duplo Legos for Valentine’s Day. Mommy helped get them started and was the official photographer of the hearts. Then in March, for Daddy’s birthday, the girls built a Lego birthday cake. Fortunately we warned him so there were no surprise dentist bills or anything like that. Another thrill for the girls in March was going to the BrickWorld exhibit/convention; as you can guess, many Legos were involved and the girls were able to have an eyeful of displays ranging from all of the Star Wars Lego sets to a huge diorama with trains, mountains, and houses as well as a cityscape. Needless to say, after all of that, the girls are becoming Lego fans, like Daddy.
While we did not build any Easter eggs or build massive rabbits from Legos, the weather was beautiful for Easter and the girls enjoyed an outdoor Easter egg hunt for a change. AJT07 quickly figured out what to do -- she enjoyed filling her basket so much that she will take her basket and fill it with whatever is available and pretend that it is Easter again. I guess you could say that the "building" theme continued on Easter as the girls are “building” vocabularies and logic skills since they received books, games, and puzzles for Easter.
That is all for now; I will try to update more frequently as the girls continue to “build” vocabularies, skills, and personalities.
