Today was a wet day. Joshua is not is any shape of the word an indoor child. So keeping him amused while being inside all day can be a challenge. With him starting at kindergarten though, some of the other boys have introduced him to the world of Lego. Now don't be deceived we have had Lego in this house for ages, most of it is actually Scott's from his childhood. But until recently Joshua hasn't taken the slightest bit of interest in it.
Now that Joshua understands what can be achieved with Lego & it's finally cool to play with. I've found it's a great distraction tool, while not loading him up with cartoons on these rainy days. Of course being into diggers & Buzz Lightyear, the first things built are a excavator, pick-up crane & rocket ship. After these 3 essentials are built he lets his mind wonder & constructs just about anything & everything.
From massive things which entail every bit of Lego he owns, to things that come out which are only constructed with 4 bits of Lego, which you have to understand is a massive laser gun :) Oh the possibilities!
I love quiet play with a passion.
What do your children do on rainy days?
Keep Happy
