Castles on the Floor

Alan, you like to make castles every day. Let me explain.

To you, a castle is anything that is stacked up. So you take cups and stack them high. You stack blocks - I saw an incredible stack of blocks you made in your room on the carpet even, almost as tall as you. We call you a good builder and say you really know your castles.

Once your castle reminded me of a pagoda so I got a picture of one on my computer and every day you wanted to see the pagoda picture, which you called "goda".

Sometimes you are frustrated when your castles fall down, but we encourage you to build it back again. I know that in your life some day you will have something to do with building things.
