'Obot

RC has a new thing. Every day, we have to build a robot out of Legos. Sometimes they can be very simple (Chrys got away with 3 blocks one day). Sometimes they have to be more complex (many of mine end up so big with legs, arms, tummies, that they can no longer maintain structural integrity).

She decides when they're done, usually by no longer handing the builder Legos. Oh? You thought she built them? No. She coordinates and observes and sometimes tries to add Lego antennae.

Her favorite seems to be to use the door thing as a mouth, the arch as a nose and the wheel base as eyes. She likes arms, hands, legs and feet, but they don't have to be much most times.

Once this 'obot is complete, she will hug it. Usually, this causes it to fall to pieces. She "uh ohs" and it gets rebuilt. They often get kisses, too. They really just make her day. She'll carry them around for as long as they remain stable. After they fall apart too many times, she's ready to move on.

The girl <3 her 'obots.
