If you build it, they will come...

Matthew built something out of his blocks and all the other little things that ended up in the box we throw his blocks in at the end of the day.

He used EVERYTHING that was in the box and made a special place for all of it in his little creation. He worked very hard at it, placing something in this place, then moving it to another place when it didn't quite fit in that first place.

I have never seen him be so meticulous and careful. It was really amazing to watch. Several times he would find a place for something and then step back, look at it and clap and say "Yay!!" It was hysterical.
Once he had used everything he stepped backed, clapped, and said, "Yay!" and then forced me to clap also.







After he made it I told him, "Don't destroy it yet, I am going to take a picture." He immediately seemed to like the idea and helped me look for my camera and then stood back as I took pictures of his beautiful creation. Every time I took a picture he wanted to see it on the camera screen to make sure it looked nice.

Then he just laid there and stared at it for a couple minutes. He was so proud of himself.

He saw what he made, and saw that it was good. :)
