Our favorite activity

When people who do not have children ask me what I do I have trouble coming up with an answer. I don't go to school or have a job or any serious hobbies or interests. I take care of a baby and everything that goes with it. This means feeding, cleaning up that mess, keeping him out of the toilet, cleaning his toilet-water covered hands, making animal sounds, cleaning up toys, helping him climb on the playground and cleaning sand off him before we go inside (maybe).
But our most favorite thing to do is blocks. I set them up and make some pretty cool creations (if I can brag a bit) while Jared knocks them down as quickly and sillily (a real word?) as possible. It is pretty fun and distracts him from yanking on cords and screaming sometimes too.
However when Ken comes home, Ken helps and encourages Jared to build towers (he is awesome at this parenting thing, huh?). And this week, Jared stacked more than two blocks without knocking them down or them toppling by themselves.

Fun! And I totally know the feeling about that question. I do motherhood. Isn't that enough?
