Construction

We've had a sizable bin of Lego in the house since way back before one or both kids were past the choking hazard stage. Fortunately, not a single block has been ingested (that we know of). Truth is, the Lego has rarely been acknowledged at all, which is weird, considering that Trevi is crazy builder man, and Clara loves to create. Lego does require a bit of finesse, though, and so I guess it's been passed over in favor of things that stack up/stick together more easily. This week, though, the Lego is feeling the love.
In the above pic, by the way, Trevi had, moments before, abandoned the Legos (in large part due to the despotic bin-watcher and specialized parts distributor), and moved on to Tinkertoys.

And for construction on a larger scale, Trevi pounded a few nails into the treehouse, and then stood up there, owning the universe.
We're signing them both up for Habitat for Humanity instead of camp this summer.
