My mum bought my nephew some building blocks a while since. He and my brother came to visit today, because it was my bro's birthday earlier in the week (he is SUCH an old fart now ;) ) and we needed to give cards + money. Anyway, we also gave the blocks to my nephew, and he spent all the time he was here playing with them, and getting really excited about them.
Mostly he kind of threw them about, but he also spent some time handing them to me, taking them out of the box, and knocking over any towers I had made with them. He also sort of discovered that, if you knock two together, they make a noise.
It was all very adorable (and the first time he's been here and not cried after three-quarters of an hour! \o/ )

Book update thing:
~ Still reading The Gunslinger, but I have requested the next book in the series - The Drawing of the Three. Hopefully, I will have finished the Gunslinger by the time it arrives...
(Which. I have just met Jake in the book. He is adorable, and I am having all the parental feelings. I strongly suspect that Roland is a bit, too).
To read:
~ His Dark Materials again (at least they are within reaching distance).
~ The Earthsea books by Ursula Le Guin - I've been meaning to read these for a while, as I know some friends of mine are into them, and mum loves them. We dug them out a bit since and now they're staring at me, giving me the guilts. (Also I liked what little bits of The Left Hand of Darkness that I read, so I think I'm going to like them. Hopefully!)

I'm sure I was going to say other things, but I can't remember them, so I might as well hit post.
