Babies and towers

Thursday  in the late afternoon  Mystie

So far I haven’t observed many differences between my little baby girl and my previous baby boys. But now she’s moving and playing and the differences are showing up. :)

I sat down with Ilse and started building a tower with clear peek-a-blocks that Hans received as a gift when he was a baby. Hans and Jaeger as babies absolutely loved it when I built towers; they would knock over all towers with glee. They could hardly restrain themselves from attempting destruction by the time I had stacked three blocks. Ilse has glee as well. However, her glee is in watching me build a tower. She loves tall towers. She tries to touch the top block, but as soon as the tower starts to teeter, she pulls away and looks concerned. She absolutely loves it when I top a tower with a ducky, putting the ducky at her eye-level. She giggles and tries to take the duck, but will do so carefully and do her best not to knock over the tower. She looks and laughs and peers at the blocks in the tower, but does her best to keep her tower intact.

Then Jaeger comes and swipes at it and shouts with joy the wanton destruction.
