Happy Puppets

Sometimes Grant is not the nicest big brother to Christian and Justin.  He can be bossy and selfish.  I guess that makes it all the more heartening when he does something sweet for them...like yesterday.  I returned home from some errands yesterday morning to find Grant hard at work building a detailed compound out of our large cardboard bricks.  As I looked closer at it, I noticed that parts of the construction were labeled with signs: "Puppetsburg", "Duck Land", and "Penguin Village".  I knew that Grant did not build this for himself, but for his little brother.  Christian's most prized possessions are his duck and penguin hand puppets, and now, thanks to Grant, the penguins and ducks have an enormous, lovely, cardboard brick retreat in our playroom.  Those are some happy puppets!
