At five, Mac might need Duplos still. Little fingers have a hard time snaping the smaller Legos together.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I still love Legos, but not stepping on them in bare feet. OW!
There's an ad in one of my parents' magazines for some kind of Mom pampering product. It's a huge photo of a woman's foot with the imprint of a lego on the sole. So. Perfect.

train set sounds big and space-taking-up.
colored blocks are the best toys ever. I wonder if they make sets now that are that pressed foam, rather than wood.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, Duplos. (Not sure why I feel nostalgic about Duplos, but there you go.)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You're going to be a great mom, and part of the wonder of parenting is getting to know all that stuff. Its so exciting! I tear up every time mac comes up.
In my office of 18, there are 4 people who have adopted children; 3 of the 4 have adopted internationally (2 Guatemala; 1 India).
msbelle, I mentioned your good news about mac to them, and, even though they don't know you, they were SO thrilled for you.

play-doh, crayons, colored pencils, and construction paper - that's what I have in the house.
Weren't you going to paint a wall with chalkboard paint?

My dad hated legos with a passion for this (but he liked playing with them too!) We learned a lot of creative obscenities courtesy of those little plastic blocks. I remember the Christmas my brother got the space station. Dad turned to mom and said "You ARE trying to kill me."

Thank y'all, so nice.
I was gonna paint the back of the door. That may still happen, I am just not sure when.
