I tried hard searching for an old picture of Raiyan stacking up his legos or blocks just like how I remember him to have loved doing so much, but unfortunately after scouring through all the burnt CDs containing his pictures since he celebrated his first birthday, I couldn't find even one single picture of him doing so! I can still remember picturing him carefully constructing his tall towers.. and how he would repeatedly get so frustrated every time his tower would get just too tall to withstand gravity and would inevitably break down.. Then he'd start stacking it all over again.. and the vicious cycle continues until we are forced to just pack the blocks away..
But on a happy note, especially lately since he has his newfound imagination, he is more keen to be more creative with his blocks with the help of his babah. These blocks he's playing with were actually given to him for his first birthday and finally it has been put to good and its proper use!
Raiyan was first excited to build what he called his castle:
Thinking these blocks aren't enough (and they're obviously not since probably the other 75% are all over the house), he pulled out these baby blocks and decided to build an extension to his castle:
And here he is putting in his finishing touches to the front door of his extended castle!
Another great thing was Alisha accidentally broke it down twice and naturally he cried, but alhamdulillah it wasn't a tantrum! And as soon as I started helping him re-construct it back, he stopped! But not before muttering to himself "I don't like Alisha.. I don't like Alisha now.." Heehe.. I know I shouldn't be encouraging him thinking such things about his sister but I still can't help thinking how cute he was for saying that!
