...in which I learn to share

365.240 ...in which I learn to share, originally uploaded by zzwhitejd.

My LEGOs from 11+ years ago meet LEGOs purchased just this very afternoon. I took the kids to the new store at Concord Mills and we had fun on the Pick a Brick wall then came home and spent hours playing. Even Jack has done really well with them, I've been impressed.
I gave my Dory an unopened pack from Micky D's Happy Meals from 1999... she put together her first instruction led build. Oh, the milestones.
All of them (secondhand via Grandma Marcille, today's purchase and what I can share from my past), they *almost* fit into my old bucket. Almost. Heh.
(In front of Dory is the tub with the rest. i.e. My Hogwarts Castle & Express train and some Star Wars are still in hiding in said tub. Not sharing those. Not yet. Can't bring myself to do it.)
I might have a slight problem and I can't wait to share it with them both.
I love my kids.
I love LEGOs.
I think I might just love Kindergarten.

Oh, that Ba, churning out another bundle of snuggles & smiles... introducing sweet Baby Olivia Jane!

It's been AGES since Dory had her hair cut. Oh, several years really? Last time we shaved her head for the 2nd time in order to squelch her Trichotillomania. It worked. Her hair was down to her waist and getting to have split ends... it needed a trim and she was ready for it. I think it turned out great, and she is thrilled. Yeah!
