All three of them.
Sometimes the two big kids in our house do, too.

Do You Lego?

CA '12: Downtown Disney Day
Our first day at Disneyland was the day that it was open the latest, so we decided to take an "off" day afterward. We did not do this last year, and that second day was so exhausting. The decision definitely paid off this year.
We spent our off day hanging out in our hotel and around Downtown Disney. One of our favorite stops was at the Lego store. We are a Lego family, definitely. The boys, (including Andy,) were excited to see the building tables outside. I loved how well they built together... there was only a little snatching legos from each other on this day. I also loved how Ephram solved his height challenge to reach the legos in the middle of the table.
We left the Lego store with a find for each of the boys, some birthday presents for Andy, and a sleepy baby. So, we decided we might as well head over to Build A Bear.
At Build A Bear, the boys picked out a puppy to make together. It is a special "Downtown Disney" edition. Since we were only making one, we let them chose a sound to put inside. They chose a very appropriate bark. They took turns using the stuffing pedal, each threw a heart inside, and scrubbed the dog down. After much discussion, the dog was named "MickDog" and we chose a dog house for him to use.
We went to a restaurant for dinner that night and had one of those epically horrible parenting dinner experiences. The restaurant was good, and tried to accomodate us. But our children were all overwhelmed in different ways. It was one of those nights that, in hindsight, we should have just cut our losses, asked for a box and left. But we kept trying and thinking that it would get better. Next time, I will know when to call it quits.
Luckily, all of us recovered nicely back in our room. We settled down, watched a movie and played Legos. Andy and Ephram had a fun round of play with MickDog as Ephram was readying for bed. And just as we heard Charlie join in on the sleep-breathing, we heard the first of the fireworks for the Halloween Party at Disneyland that night. Andy and I stepped out onto the balcony and watched the firework show. Nobody does fireworks like Disney. Then it was off to sleep for us too, because we were planning an early start for Day 2 in the parks!
