Valerie Can Build Tower

Last Saturday daddy was not around to go to class with us cause he has to work. So grandma tagged along to help out. After class, I brought Valerie to Isetan and I let her sit at the children's play area. 

Few months earlier, she didn't know what to do with the blocks despite us showing her to put them on top of each other to build a tower. In the end she ended up throwing on the floor or tasting them with her tongue. So Ivan has banned her from playing blocks for a while.

But this time, I noticed she took the block and put it on the existing square tower. And she repeated this piece by piece until the wall was about 5 levels higher. Yea!! Valerie can finally build block towers! So I told Ivan, maybe we could consider buying her a Lego set now or Duplo or something. Or maybe just the cheaper blocks made from China sold in those small toy shops. Who knows, she might like building blocks today, and won't want to have anything to do with it another day. No need to buy such expensive toys. Something I'm learning as a parent with a toddler now. Kid's interest is so short that you don't need to buy expensive branded toys.
