Hey, little builder, don't boil the little people!

Kira has discovered what all her toys can do. She has really taken to playing with her blocks (the mega lego blocks are her favorites!) and will spend hours sitting on the floor in her room building towers. I am loving the break from pulling her off the tops of tables, and she has not been "building" with the cans in my pantry as much any more, either. Some of her masterpieces have really been taller than her! Her regular blocks get some use, too, but she gets frustrated since they don't lock together and she can't build them as tall.
Her Mr. Potato Head sets have also been getting a lot of play lately. Of course, the poor things end up with eyes on top of their heads and their feet where their arms should be!
My favorite thing to watch her play with is her little kitchen set. It has a small "stove" that makes sounds when you set the pots, pans, and tea kettle in them. At first, I would put the play food in the pots for her and show her how to "stir" them with her play spoons. She would just laugh, dump out the food and start searching for better things to cook. Most of the time it is stacks of blocks. With every new height, the sound gets louder! But, the little people from her school bus keep ending up in the sizzle pan...and then she thinks it is hilarious to pretend to feed them to Brittany (the dog). Brittany, of course, now thinks the little people are her chew toys and spends most of her time waiting in Kira's room for the delicacies.
