LEGO Police station
Here, didn’t post this amazing police station that Benj & I made on Monday! We built it ground up. He is almost accepting my explanation of brick placement to ensure walls are secure. “Dad, the colours don’t match!” Also, the backdoor at the top – “people can just walk up like this…and then…weeee fall in!”…

Lava song
Most nights, small person wants a song. We have the Lava Song from Lava, which I think is the short which came with Moana, or Over The Rainbow by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo There are times when I wish we were doing something on my phone and I could record B’s reaction or what he’s doing.…

YouTubbers

Best Day Ever
“Daddy, this is the best day ever! There’s snow EVERYWHERE!” “Yea, just a wee bit though”. “There’s frost on the road, and frost on the grass, and on the road sign, and on the wall, and on the bus stop. And on our feet hahahahaha”. Some people are easily amused 😃
