the architect

The colorful block set we got as a birthday gift for em have proven to be a great investment lately, as emma will spend literally an hour at a time (which is a loooong time in a toddler world) creating her “humungous cities”, as she calls them. It’s kind of interesting to watch, because most kids build up…emma does a little of that, but she is much more in to building out instead of up. So the result are these little structures that all somehow connect and consist of many tiny little houses and “bridges”. We keep suggesting to her that she should be an architect some day.

tonight she pulled her dollhouse furniture and dolls out of the house and pretended it was their huge house. :)


she thought it would be a riot ( and it was) if, after she was done creating her city, she set chicken right beside the city and pushed his wing so that he would dance in to the city and knock all of it down. i am pretty sure we have heard the chicken dance song at least 700 times over the last 48 hours.

a girl and her art


new england living is beginning to rub off on emma, as one of her newest words to use is "wicked". the other day, during the carride in to work she shared that "tigger has a wicked tail." she is definitly a vermont girl.


hope everyone has a great week!
