Playing with blocks

One of Allie's favorite activites is playing with blocks. She has a few different sets. She got this big set of nice wooden blocks for her birthday. Sometimes she just dumps them out and goes to play with something else. But most of the time she'll sit there for awhile playing. She doesn't build much though. Whenever Mama or Dada start building towers from the blocks, she always knocks them over. She's learning her shapes because the lid for this block set is a shape sorter and she also got another set of shape sorter blocks for her birthday as well. She's getting really good at matching! These blocks are also good for another thing: Learning to pick up toys! The blocks make a big mess, but Allie's getting really good about helping when we all work together to pick up her toys. She's learning so much these days.
