Mama took out this set of blocks for me to play just 2 weeks ago. It was a gift from Uncle Robin and Aunty Irene for my 1st birthday. Mama kept it because she wanted to wait till I was developmentally ready to play with it. And I am all ready man!
First week was only stacking about 3 to four blocks high, and I would kick them down with my legs. Then as Mama and Papa played with me, demonstrating how to 'build' stuffs, I grew a great liking for blocks. I kept playing with them whenever I was back home. Now, I could build house, train and swimming pool! Or at least, I imagined them to be so.
See, my house had a roof! Mama said typically only boys like to play with blocks for a long long time. That is also why generally boys are better at Math than girls. Block play has alot of mathematical concepts in it, that's why. And she is surprised that I love to play with blocks and my concentration for it is better than for reading! Oh well, guess I might take after Papa and be an engineer next time?! Or architect? Hmmm......a hippy singing engineer, perhaps! And revolutionize the geeky image of engineers!!! Ops! Sorry, engineers out there!? (Papa, no sorry for you cos your image is much redeemed by Mama when you knew her! wahahhaah...she made me say that!) :P
Tada! My finale pose for my master piece!
After that, I started to notice my domesticated Papa hanging clothes in the kitchen. He forbid me to disturb him with his bamboo stick. I had wanted to hang there like a monkey! Heheh....
So I amused myself (and Mama) by pegging his bermudas!

In this picture, do you notice I am as dark and lean in figure as Papa?! Gosh! Just pray hard I don't inherit his hairy legs! Yucks!!!
