L is an early riser and is often the first one up in the morning. She comes into our room and I wake up just enough to give her a flashlight to go downstairs with. Then she sits at the kitchen table and plays with her legos until everyone else is awake. When breakfast is ready, the only way to make her eat is to threaten to take away the legos. And then after breakfast, she goes back to playing with them, and could easily play with them until lunchtime. She has made some really neat creations.



Sometimes L starts off with her own idea, and sometimes she copies the pictures in the booklet, but before long, she is making hers even better than the one in the pictures, and with lots more added on to the idea.

A lot of times, she uses her legos to act out stories. In this picture, our family is moving, back when L was a baby. All the furniture used to be in our old house, which is the green flat piece you can see on the right. But now, it is all loaded up onto the moving truck. Behind Dad, Mom is kind of reclined, wearing a red and green striped outfit. Starting at the top of the pile on the back of the truck, there is a chair, a kitchen table, two decorative archway garland things, a bed, a baby cradle with baby L laying in it (she is all white, and you can just barely see her eye peeking over), a bathtub, and two or three more things that I can't remember what they are. And everything underneath Mom and Dad is from the house too.


One day on the way to the Library, we saw a truck in the middle of the intersection working on the stop light. Both the girls thought that was so cool to see. A few days later, L made this replica, with lights all over the truck, tools in the back, and the bucket for the man to stand in, just like the real thing.




M also loves legos, but L won't let her touch hers. They are way too special. Instead, M has to be satisfied with the next best thing-mega blocks. Here is a bunk bed she made. Don't you LOVE the cheesy grin??
