SelahbJune brought in the new year with lots of playing.  She’s been super interested in her “magnet” blocks or “magic” blocks (depending on which of us is listening and interpreting. We’ve never had this kind of blocks at our house, so she’s really excited about having them all to herself to build whatever she wants. At this particular moment, she was building a tower.

And then I heard her saying something different. When I looked up, she was “reading” this little card from the box and saying “instructions, instructions, instructions.”

They evidently involved building a cavernous tower that you could stuff full of Shopkins and other random personal affects.

Then we moved on to our new books. She didn’t want me to read them to her. Rather, she emphasized “I do it! All by myself!!”

And then she began each page with “Once upon a time…” The Mickey book was “Once upon a time, there was Mickey and farm and animals and tractor… And Donald had a hat and Goofy had a hat. The end!”

Then we went to church. She looks thrilled.
