The leaning tower of pizza

.. as Monkey likes to call it. The Birthday Machine episode of Little Einsteins (in English) has spiked Monkeys interest in towers.

We got a few it's-ok-to-cut-the-pictures-out-books from a local recycle store. One of the books caught my attention because it had a few of the world's famous buildings; like the Eiffel tower.. and the Tower of Pisa. (These recycle stores are a great concept; people GIVE their old stuff and people who are sentenced to a 'work punishment' work there and sell it. That way people can recycle, buy cheap things and the 'employees' can use the experience as a way to start a career. They sell anything from books to clothes to a drum set Monkey almost made me buy.)

But what is more fun than to watch a tower or see a tower? OK, besides CLIMBING one.. BUILDING one!

Concentrated Very. Concentrated. "Mommy, those towers are beautiful too." "Yes, they were beautiful honey" he -thankfully- left it at that. Making a round tower out of Duplo... mmmm Maybe Roo can help? The little doll stroller was her birthday gift from us. She loves to sit IN it, while Monkey races her through the living room. The salesman promised me my grandchildren can sit in it too. I rather not think about that QUITE yet. Thankyouverymuch.

I rather build a tower out of pizza's and create a real tower of Pizza. Not a bad idea. Hmmm.
