watching him build

one of my favorite things going on in our house lately is the building that BB does. he got a new set of blocks for his birthday this summer and since then he has been working on these amazing layouts. little places for his trucks to tuck in or expansive tracks for his trains to roll through. it's awesome!

after he's finished one he loves to talk me through it. "when he's tired he goes back home over

here to sleep, mommy."

somedays something new emerges. he figures out a new way to use the blocks and that opens up new possibilities for the world. he gets very proud. i love that.
