We got out Piper's building blocks today for the first time in a while. We hadn't played with them since before Christmas. She had fun building horizonally as well as vertically this time, as well as with some thought and intent. Previously she was just all about stacking the blocks until they fell over, or making trains with them. We may be seeing some more elaborate structures now. She also decided to incorporate her little people in her designs too. However, she still likes to diassemble her creations almost as soon as she makes them, so it's not like we were seeing anything amazing today. Maybe next time.

Building Blocks & Little People

Little Architect
I wasn't sure if Piper would enjoy the mega blocks she received for Christmas from grandma, but I knew she would eventually grow into them as much as she loves to stack blocks. Tonight she was actually focused and engaged in building and seemed to have grasped the concept of putting the blocks together and making sure they stuck too. However she was equally excited about taking her structures apart and then rebuilding. Either way, I'm glad she's progressing with her spatial abilities and excited to see what she does next.
