Owen has really gotten into building with the Mega Blocks lately. They were a birthday gift from his cousins, Roman and Keiko, and while they were fun before, they are really fun now that he has figured out that he can build on his own. He has spent hours over the last week sitting with me and Abram in the floor, taking apart, rearranging, and putting together Mega Block structures. He especially likes the men, known collectively as "man," and is always careful to place them on top of whatever structure he (or we) have made. He also likes to make sure they are well hydrated, and frequently wants to give them water. I started offering a blue block for this purpose, but nowadays any block seems to fill the bill. He even makes little slurpy sounds as they drink. Another favorite game is to make something and sit on it. After a complex series of block placements and changes, with a big grin, he will announce, "sit" and proceeds to turn around and sit on it. This usually results in the collapse of the structure but occasionally, it survives mostly unscathed.
