Bob the Builder...I Mean, Emily





I have been collecting as many images of Emily's creations as possible. Eventually I will make a book out of her designs. It is truly fascinating to watch her build. She doesn't just put the pieces together. She may put a block down and then kind of back up to look at it and then she may move it or adjust it. I am convinced she is creating from images in her head.
It's not this building, but the other day she created something that very much resembled Stonehenge. When she finished, she announced, "Mommy, I made a circle!"
She also informs me of the name of each construction. It varies from a "something" castle to a stable to a farm to whatever. She definitely feels that these buildings have purpose.
