One of my most favorite things about our Thomas is that he has a very vivid imagination. Combined with his love of building things (and tying things up), he is one fun kid to hang out with.
So, one stormy day, he asked if he could build a bridge. Not having a ready supply of bridge building materials on hand, here is what we came up with.
And believe it or not, he did most of the building. Once we showed him how the trusses worked, he took right to it!
And then the imagination kicked in. I thought he was adding a second story to the bridge (which was slightly worisome considering the joints were being held together with marshmallows... )
But that was not his intention at all. Apparently the bridge was now a cake - and a cake needed candles.
And those candles needed to be lit.
And blown out.
Happy birthday, little bridge!
