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.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.)

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.
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.

Coding and Sleeping
A flashlight and a dark room can be pretty good entertainment. Duplo blocks are a good suggestion. Little matchbox cars can be good, but are sort of hit and miss. Leif likes doing mazes as well.
