Mama's little architect

Kenzie loves to build. The best toy she could have would be blocks. Any kind - any shapes... if she has them, she puts them together.



I have seen her take toys that can be interlocked together or just plain cardboard blocks and build some of the most interesting structures. I never had that in me... I didn't ever have the patience or imagination for that. But this kid... her understanding of spatial relationships and her grasp of what makes something work and other things not work... couple that with her ability to concentrate for long periods of time if necessary - and she sometimes amazes me. I am going to start taking pictures of her creations so I can show her styles. She never makes the same thing twice, even if she has the same number and size of blocks... she always creates new stuff.



Below is one of her recent creations she made while at daycare. She calls it a restaurant.

I never had the imagination she has. I have vowed to take pictures of everything she builds from here on out so I can document all of her "buildings". LOL!

WOW!!! Oh my, But she did a great job!!! She's small and she does those things. Hey, might she want to be an architect when she grows up??

P.S: I'm the same person as "losthopes9" at youtube. I found your blog through youtube ;)

How wonderful, Melanie! Glad you found us here! My money is on architect or engineer - and has been since we came home with her. She loves numbers and math, and is quite creative with her designs. This is just wonderful to have you here, too!
