Building...

Photobucket

The dutiful play of a young child is so magnificent to watch....
Every day, W discovers more and more things he can do...
My recent favorite is block towers...

Photobucket

The concentration...
He places them oh-so carefully...
takes his hands away quickly...
a satisfactory grunt follows...

Looking forward to the fading light of Winter...
The inner glow of contentment..
The unrushed time at home..
especially excited for a Martinmas gathering and lantern walk later on in the week...

"It is a happy talent to know how to play.."

  6. As a "grown-up", I definately believe it is a talent to know how to play. I remind myself of this often! Happy stacking, little W.
