Building a Fort: Papa Style

measuring first

Little parts always go in the mouth.

Getting closer

Papa needs help holding up this side.

It fits Preston, but will it fit Papa too???

Big enough for Preston and his best friend, Papa too.

You know, watching these two work together takes me all the way back to 23 years ago, watching Del playing and building with his own son, Jordan.  Preston is like Del's little shadow.  He follows him everywhere and does exactly what Del does.  And he's brilliant...really, Preston is freakin brilliant.  He talks like no other 2 yr old I know...he sings, dances and quotes parts of the movies he watches.  I just LOVE to watch him as he learns new things.  He's quick to do what he sees others do.  Tonight, Del was teaching Preston how to jump over the rope on the floor.  No problem.  Then he tried to teach Preston to jump rope...a little more difficult, but he attempted it.  He always wants to please.  And then, when Kylie gives him her phone to play with???  Oh my...that's when his real genius comes out.  ABC's, animals, songs and movies...he knows them all and how to get to each one.  And his attention span has no ending - no limits.  He can concentrate on one thing for literally hours or until it is over.  And his facial expressions are priceless.  I can literally watch him forever.
It was a very fun night with him here...so glad Kylie brought him to play.
