In recent months, Mio’s really taken an interest in building blocks and puzzles. With her blocks, she usually likes to just stack them as high as she can and proudly proclaims, “tower!” when she’s done, before knocking it over and saying, “tower fall down!” She loves playing blocks with Daddy because he helps her build more complex structures — today, Mio called me over to proudly show me their “robot” creation.
