These basic mini blocks were a gift {I can't remember who from} at my Buby shower in July 2005. Not a day goes by that Buby doesn't play with them. The big box that holds them all is always empty. I like that they are made of wood, part colorful, part plain, part alpha, part pictorial. We build "big big towers" and take turns knocking them down {with lots of loud cheering!}. But it's during quiet time that Buby really gets into them. When I step out of the playroom to put Bleu down for nap or zip upstairs to change, I return to a content preschooler either constructing some fantastical structure with his blocks or working on his puzzles {one after another}. And talking to himself in his signature high-pitch whisper. It's a wonderful thing to walk in on.

That's super sweet! Is he done with naps? Does he ever take any?
Done! He gave up naps (much to our chagrin) when I was pregnant with Bleu. He went from every single day 3 hours to no naps at all. We moved up his bedtime since he gets exhausted a lot earlier now.
Buby has such a sweet face! I love that he's able to play by himself and use his imagination. Don't let him grow up too fast - these are the special years. Love you!
