Riley and Jeremy had been making a habit of making a fort everyday using everything possible and making a HUGE mess! Now if we had a toy room, or even just a little more space, I would not care that we had a fort up all the time. However for anyone who has seen our home, they can understand how a fort can take it over. So we tried restricting the forts to certain areas for a while and not using everything. They did not abide so then we said, "NO forts for a while!"The very next day Riley builds this. I asked him why he did it and reminded him that they can't build forts for a while. (Even if it was just a couple of days that we were fort free, I would be happy) He so mater of fact says,
"It's not a fort! It's a birthday party for my monkey!!!" Let me say that the stuffed monkey is about 6 inches tall. I just smiled and gave up the fight on forts because really I think a kid should get to build forts. It's great imaginative play. I just can't wait until we have a bigger house some day so it's not so consuming! :)

He is very smart you have to give him props for that! ok it's been awhile since I've been on your blog. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I had no idea you are pregnant! Its been way to long since I've seen you and been able to chat. Are you coming to the potluck?
That's funny--he knows how to work the system! Forts test my patience too--maybe because I'm always the one who has to clean it up. Congratulations on the baby! I'm excited for you. I hope Ortho is going well. Is it better than d-school?
