we bought alan a bucket containing100 pieces of building blocks. i had difficulty building anything at the beginning, a matter of lacking imagination i guess.
but after a while, i managed to build this little thing above. it's my first building block in over twenty years, or if my memory didn't fail me (as i can't recall the last time i ever played with building blocks), it could very well be the first building block i ever built in my life! wow.
as alan knocked down my first building, i quickly built a second smaller one. this looked like a robot though. :)
with some encouragement, alan started to stack up some blocks, too. here he had three, and i remembered that he made it to five or six. could this be considered his first built block?
It's all about practice, that's all, to get his fine motor movement going via using his little fingers and coordinating w/them.
