Evy loves water and straws and cups. This is a video of him having a good time with all three. He was so excited that he played for about 30 minutes doing this.
TOWERS
We've been starting to build around here during play time. Usually towers were just meant to destroy with a vengeance (which is really cool to do--I get some action in destroying stuff, too). Lately, Everett is more interesting in building up the towers before crashing them together.
Balancing Bug Stacker from Lamaze Toys.
There are magnets in each one that help the insects stack on one another. This toy really helped Everett go from the tower destructo kid to building towers. (He likes to build in threes.)Tot Tower blocks that with illustrated nursery rhymes by eeBoo. I really like them because you can stack and nest the blocks. Also, the illustrations and text help me remember the rhymes and we turn the play session with blocks into a music slam session.
You can see BABY in the background. He really likes baby. I have enjoyed how many connections he has made about his own body by looking at Baby. We have learned "toes" and rediscovered "eyes" and "nose" with Baby. Besides, it is really cute to see him hug Baby. And, yes, we know that Baby is rather swarthy looking.
