LEGO Week

2013-02-17

Hi everyone! This week I played with LEGO every day, sometimes more than once, with both Mommy and Daddy. We built a lot of towers - and I knocked them all down. I also played with regular LEGO this week, after I dumped out Dad's Creationary game. Mommy helped me use the pieces to build something.

Somebody shrunk my LEGO bricks! Was it you?

Some other strange things happened this week:

What's this?

Daddy!

Here's a picture of the car I built with the little LEGO bricks.

I built this.

And I got more balloons! Grandma Gail and Grandpa Kevin sent me balloons for Valentine's Day and someone brought them to my house! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!

On Saturday we went to the Children's Museum. And after all my practice at home, I was ready to crawl through the big tunnel.

This tunnel is much longer than the one I have at home.

I also rode in an airplane.

Dad, I think you are too big for this aircraft.

And went up and down a lot of stairs.

"You know Dad, I'd be much better at this if we had some stairs in our house."

Some bigger boys were playing with the crane, so I didn't get to this trip. Daddy, Mommy, and I just watched.

Watching the big kids play.

We played with trains at the big train table.

And for the first time I got to play in the water tables! They were so much bigger than the ones at school!

Learning how the locks on the river work.

Taking it all in.

By the time we were ready to go, I needed a drink.

Runnings the locks is thirsty work.

On the way out, I took the fire truck for a spin.

After the museum, we went out for ice cream. Well, Mommy and Daddy did, because of course I wouldn't eat any. Then we went back to our town and stopped at the book store. I picked out a set of lacing blocks to play with (thanks, Kathy M.!). Then we went home.

We stayed home on Sunday, except for taking a walk. I've been having some teeth come in this week, so I haven't been my usual self. Hopefully I'll be done with that soon.

Sharing my lunch with Duke.

Hey Duke! We're going for a walk!

That was it for the week! Take care!
