It is absolutely amazing what a bucket of water and a measuring cup can do. This served as pure amazing entertainment to Mallory for up to an hour last Sunday. We went to visit Grandma Sachs and due to the rain, a lonely bucket on the porch had collected some water. As soon as she spotted it, Mallory was playing in it. We aided her by giving her a measuring cup which she repeatedly filled with water and then transferred to the porch. Watching it made me wish I was that easily amused as an adult. I will just live vicariously through my child. When we came home, I broke out the blocks that Aunt Lori let us borrow and scattered them on the living room floor. This too was incredibly exciting. Mallory stacked them up higher and higher then proceeded to crash into them, slightly resembling Godzilla while doing so. Once they fell to the ground, she giggled and giggled just to stack them up again.
After all that playing, she was very tired and even went to bed 20 mins earlier then normal. Not, of course, before spending some quality time with Dad on the couch :)

I am glad she is enjoying the blocks! Ivan also just needs a little water and he is set for a few hours-great entertainment!
