Esme does get her block building stuff from me, but she has to be in the mood to try. She can make some pretty elaborate things, or just throw them around the room until they cover every surface. *ha* Poor Daddy has had to pick them up every day from everywhere in the up and downstairs areas.
But - I bought more blocks because I like to play with them, too. Last night I made a hex-sided tube of various shapes alternating about two feet high. Esme thought it was cool - but wasn't in the mood to build. She did like counting the different numbers of things available, and lining them up. She built just a little bit.. and then knocked them down. I need to sit down with her on a more regular basis to encourage her again. She has lost some interest in doing the large bits because 1.) we were running out of blocks before she was 'done' and 2.) because we were short on blocks mumum didn't play WITH her much, which was a large part of the appeal.
