H now has 2 building projects each day. Now he builds a nativity scene each day in addition to his every day fort. This one was before school. He worked on it for about 30 minutes. It included a fence in front of the manger and a covered barn for the animals behind, which cannot be seen in the pictures. He doesn't just build, he plays all along the way. The shepherds helped herd the sheep in one at a time and the wise men rode donkeys all over the kitchen on their way to see Jesus, the played a bit along the way as well, I was told. At one point the donkey fell and the wise man was on top of my bike all alone (see picture) and the wise man said in a real high voice, "oh no! my donkey!" The building is more fun than the preserving, thankfully, when he is done, he announces that L can come destroy it. And she does.
The afternoon fort today consisted of the striped chair in the living room with the little stool next to it and pillows extending the fence to the wall under the window. He had an empty laundry basket from chair to stool to protect him from the elements, I guess. The other side of the side table was blocked with the red stools from the counter so the puppy could not escape that way. Unfortunately the puppy (H) escaped many times and L was quite afraid although her mother (Ek) and I (I'm not sure who I was) reassured her that he was a kind dog and occasionally H would cease barking to interject that he was kind. I told him to please stop being a dog so L could be at peace in her own home, so he turned into a kitty cat, which was a bit better.
