The Sunchild has developed a strong rekindling of his fascination with Lego recently. We cleaned up the trains, and now the space is filled with a large & detailed project, as well as the detrius such a building frenzy elicits. There is a contest at Lego to design a fortress for the new Bionicle Toa, the Inika. Five winners will be chosen in September. He was inspired by the idea of a goal to design for, and has been spending a lot more time in his room, working on it.

This morning, we spent a relaxing period just talking about the upcoming birth, looking at pictures & discussing what happens. We looked at the Sears Pregnancy Book, and Sheila Kitzinger's Homebirth. It was fun.

After a late breakfast, and a bit of tidying up, we found the stash of green felt that had been given to me by my fried Ian long ago in Santa Fe. From that, and following the directions in the book "Knights and Damsels", we fabricated a Robin Hood hat. This is apropos, as we watched the Errol Flynn version not too long ago. He has been running around in that, and his Jedi cloak, drawing arrows from an invisible quiver.

He also spent some time today working on his latest software adventure- Zoombini's Mountain Rescue- which is all about math and logic, and doesn't even use digits. Some of the problems are complex enough that I find them tricky, but he perserveres, trying to figure out how to crack the various codes.

We watched part of a movie this evening, too. It was about the Yogis in Tibet. It spoke of their lineage, their history, and the tragic events of the last century. It also showed their nonviolence, and there was an interview with the Dalai Lama. The Sunchild made me promise for us to wait to watch the rest of it with him. I think that means he likes it ;)
