Blocks and Towers

When Nathan and I were in Knoxville a few weeks ago, Carrol gave us some blocks that Brian and little David had played with when they were kids.  They have turned into a big hit with Nathan!

Look at this amazing tower that Nathan... er, I... built.  I guess I like the blocks just as much as Nathan!

Nathan's favorite shaped block is the small cylinder, so we started playing a game where I would build towers and he would find and grab the cylinder.  This is us a few days ago as the game was just getting started...



Since I took these videos, I have been making the challenges harder by putting other blocks really close to the cylinder or putting a block on top, and Nathan has responded with more nimble hands.  Today I started "hiding" the cylinder under other blocks while Nathan watched, then he would move them all to get the cylinder.  Pretty smart kid!
