I got in a lot of cuddle time with my two grandsons today and a little bit with my feisty granddaughter. Julian seems to be fascinated with my goatee; he keeps putting his hand on my chin when I hold him. Meanwhile, Alistair has been my buddy, often walking over to me and sitting by me or insisting that I hold him. For being under two years old, he has quite the vocabulary and is generally good about getting his ideas across. Today, he sat next to me for a little while and fell asleep. Irene, however, was more on the go and was only willing to cuddle for a little bit (and on her own terms) while I was LEGO building.
Speaking of, LEGO Rivendell is completed, and it is absolutely amazing! I believe that it will get the primary location on the display shelf that Peter built across our living room. In this case, the primary location is the far right, which is the easiest to see every time one goes down the stairs. We tested it out for a bit, and I feel that it is a natural location for the set.
We will figure out what else goes up on the shelf before they get back up here.
