Tower of Terror

If you can't tell from this post and a few previous posts, the most exciting thing we do around here lately is go to the grocery store. Emerson loves to unload the groceries. When I turned around after putting things away in the fridge I found this:

I really wanted to get a picture, so I told him to not touch while I went to get the camera. I had visions of broken glass and chili sauce all over the floor.

He was a good boy though and didn't touch until Mommy was back downstairs and then he insisted on stacking the peanut butter (also termed "dip" for apples) on top of everything else.

He wouldn't be persuaded otherwise, so I rearranged a little and helped him stack it on top. And here he is clapping for himself and saying "Yay dip! Yay dip!" (I'm pretty sure he thought the chili sauce was ketchup...and who could blame him?)

And here he is inspecting the foundation of his ingenious tower.

He was extremely offended when I had to dismantle his tower to finish putting the groceries away. But don't worry, the choo-choo trains (read= trens), namely Thomas (read=Tabos) were close at hand to console him and toot his worries away.

Maybe he'll be like Brad and the wooden building blocks when he's a little bit older! I can see it now! Such a smart little boy!
