Calvin has been on a pirate kick for a while. But it seemed to jump into overdrive of late. Last night we watched The Princess Bride. As we watched I asked Calvin questions about what was about to happen, and he nailed everything! This morning for his Lego noodling time, the focus was on Princess Bride scenes and characters. I voluntarily took the first few photos, but as morning wore on, Calvin was asking me to shoot each new thing he created. He was desirous of watching the movie again this evening using our VHS. Sadly it has deteriorated, ("glitchy" according to Calvin) and we weren't able to watch. Herewith, a photo essay of the story using his Lego creations, in no particular order.
