Monkey loves building towers, with blocks, duplo, bean bags, anything.
At the moment he loves making a tin can tower in the kitchen. I try and persuade him to build them on the floor, which he does to start with, but he invariably starts lifting the tins onto the worktop 1 by 1, then climbing his stepstool and building it on the worktop. It tends to make me a bit terrified that he is going to knock them over onto himself and get hurt, but so far so good (fingers crossed, touch wood).
Anyway he built this tower yesterday and as you can see, he was dead proud of himself 🙂
 
That’s quite some tower! Maybe he will grow up to be a builder or architect?! #minicreations
haha maybe he will! 🙂 xx
That’s a brilliant tower! Little Man still prefers knocking them down!
Thanks! Ha ha I don’t blame him 🙂 xx
brilliant tower- bet he enjoyed knocking it over too!
thank you! Oh yes, which scares the hell out of me, tins flying everywhere! 🙂 xx
Wow! That is a very tall tower! Well done x
#Minicreations
I know, no wonder he was pleased with himself! Thanks 🙂 xx
Oh wow he looks very pleased with himself and quite rightly! Clever boy
thanks mama 🙂 xx
Sometimes it is good to let them figure out how to do something even if it does mean climbing, a great way to learn.
You are absolutely right! Got to stand back, see where it takes them, but be there in case they fall! xx
That’s a pretty good tower. Potato has a thing about tins too. But thankfully he likes to stack them in short stacks and just take them in and out of the cupboard. Unfortunately, he also likes to remove the labels at the same time!

Thank you, haha hmm that would be slightly annoying if you ever want to use what is in the tins! 🙂 xx
Brilliant – I’d say that’s showing great confidence, getting up there to do it rather than starting on the floor. Well done him (and you for letting him!) x over from #SSAA
Thank you! 🙂 xx
That sure is a big tower and he looks so pleased bless him!
he loods so proud of himself doesn’t he? so cute 🙂 xx
Lucas says – Once again Monkey astounds me with his awesomeness. Monkey – this is a MEGA cool tower and well done on freaking the Mother out a bit. You’re learning well young one 🙂
Ha ha Monkey says thanks! 🙂 I think he is learning some tips from you! 🙂 Xx
WOW that’s some tall tower for a little man. He has fantastic balance skills going on. It’s like he is in training for The Cube ;0)
Thanks for linking up with Small Steps Amazing Achievements :0)

Thank you! I know I am so impressed by him (and terrified of it falling and bonking him on the head!) haha maybe! 🙂 xx
Wow, you’re braver than me, I’d be putting boy and cans on the floor. Great building though 🙂
Over from #SSAmazingAchievements.
Ha ha well I did try but he’s a determined monkey and puts them (and himself) back up again 🙂 xx
