The kids, mostly Charles and Alice, have rediscovered the Kapla blocks and smaller domino style blocks that Mimi gave them several Christmases ago. I think that’s cool, but Mom’s been a bit stressed over having the blocks scattered over large chunks of the main floor. Charles does most of the building, but Alice is starting to build things The two of them use the buildings as backdrop to some very elaborate imaginary worlds. They have also gotten better about fighting over who gets to use the last pieces. On the other hand, yesterday when Mom made Alice and Charles pick up the blocks, Alice insisted on cleaning up the same stuff as Charles, and Charles insisted on not being copied. And by “being copied” Charles meant picking up the same type of block as Alice. Sadly, Charles was forced to accept copyright infringement.
