Lego Advent

Today was the first day of advent which meant Declan got new Lego. Today it was a Lego man holding a letter. He was so excited. We spent about an hour just taking it apart, putting him back together, taking him apart, etc.

It is hard getting a two year old to understand the concepts of time and waiting. He wants to open all the days. 

When I was making dinner Declan was in the kitchen with me waiting for Daddy to get home. He was standing on a chair at the counter drawing with a pen on a piece of paper. I said "why don't you draw a picture of your new Lego?" Declan said "ok" then looked down at the piece of paper and said "looks its a Lego. Just kidding. It's a dinosaur." Then we turned the page over and he said he was drawing the Lego man there.

 

I still can't see the dinosaur.

And today it was time to perform surgery on one of his "Mamamonkeys." Declan was upset that it's face was broken so I stitched it up. When I handed him back Declan kissed his face, hugged him and thanked me." I'm now a monkey Dr.
