Oliver the Creative

Of course, every mom thinks their kids are the best, smartest, most imaginative beings ever to walk the earth. But seriously, check this out! Oliver is something else. I picked out this set of blocks for the kids to play with at Grammy and Granddaddy's house:















Oliver has a similar set at home, and he loves to make tools out of them (like the jackhammer in this picture). Well, this set has instructions on how to make several different types of bugs, plus a crab and a lobster. So far, we've made a fly, a scorpion, a caterpillar/centipede type thing, and a snail.

This morning when I was getting lunch ready, Oliver was sitting on the floor playing with the blocks and putting them together. I assumed he was making a nail gun or a paint sprayer, but then I looked over and he had made a really cool scorpion-type bug all by himself!!









































Seriously, God has really blessed us with this wonderful little boy. I am so looking forward to seeing what great and mighty things He has planned for my Oliver!
