Lego's

Last night we decided to dig out Michael's big box of Lego's. For months Joshua has played with a small bag of Lego's we bought at a flea market. He tries to make cars, planes, space ships, you name it from the tiny bag. This bag of Lego's frustrate us a lot since there aren't many Lego's and Joshua plays hard with them so they fall apart a lot. So last night we thought we would give him more Lego's to play with. Will was napping at the time so we spread out the Lego's everywhere so we could find all the tiny pieces. Joshua thought this was a lot of fun, having mommy and daddy on the floor with him creating things. I had fun too, since I grew up with three sisters I never got to experience playing with Lego's much.

Then Will woke up, I brought him down stairs, he saw the mess and wanted down instantly. I'm sure he thought it looked like a lot of fun. I sat him down next to me away from the Lego's. He watched at first then grabbed a wheel that was close to him, proudly laughing. Then we heard the click of the pacifier as it hit the ground, we knew what was happening and said 'no' right away. He thought that wheel looked pretty tasty. He got very sad and offended that we would say such a word to him, and started to cry. Once I got him calmed down we let him have another shot at Lego building. The pacifier plopped out of his mouth yet another 2 times. It was time for a different activity for the baby. So him and I went away from the chaos for awhile.

When we came back he watched us for awhile digging through the pile, picking up pieces and putting them back. It wasn't long before he stated mimicking us by grabbing the Lego's, lifting them in the air and dropping them. He would also grab the Lego's and push them to his side. He was very cute with them and only tried to eat one more Lego after that.

Michael kept most of his little recipes, if you will, of how to make different toys out of Lego's so I thought the plane one looked like fun. We were able to make the entire plane, car, and fork lift that was all in that little booklet and was only missing one piece by the end of it! Not too bad.

Enjoy the pictures!
