Blocks

Just as with the table and chairs, Ben has been telling us that he might like blocks. He does this by stacking things. He started with boxes of Indian curry from Trader Joe's and progressed to cans, which he does wonderful things with. So finally we went to Waltham and combined lunch at our favorite Guatemalan restaurant (Ben loves the rice and beans and the guacamole) with a trip to the Construction Site, a toy store that specializes in construction toys, and bought him a nice set of blocks. He is very happy with them (but still stacks cans sometimes for old times' sake).
