Forts

Raina loves forts. She often asks for an adult to make one for her and then she happily plays in her fort for hours. Over winter break, Eric crafted a monstrously large fort that claimed two couches, two tables, five chairs, a bookshelf, couch cushions from upstairs couches, and lots of blankets. It was amazing and she played in it for over a week. She had to take it down at the end of winter break, which she begrudgingly did, and then something amazing happened. Raina decided to make a fort all by herself! She stacked up lots of pillows, put a blanket in between them and the couch, added a chair for support, and happily put all her loveys in the fort. She even let Lola play in it, which is a rare thing indeed. We were thrilled and were quite proud of Raina.
