Cute Kiddies & Lego Robots

At the Woodward household, we have finished another week, with Doug & Tracy busy with parent/student/teacher conferences, and the kiddies enjoying their time.

Doug and Reeve have been excitedly playing with some of the school's toys -- specifically a LEGO Robotics kit. You can see Reeve with the robot, which will follow simple commands to go in a pattern.

For example, we've put in a noise sensor, so whenever you talk or clap it changes direction, an "eye" sensor, so that whenever it gets close to an obstacle, it backs up and turns around, as well as a light sensor which (in theory) will follow the edge between a light and dark floor. Unfortunately our attempts to put pieces of brown paper didn't quite illustrate the latest sensor.

Reeve has been quite excited about playing with the LEGO set each evening.

Gabriella has continued (with the help of our amazing neighbors -- see post below) to construct the most amazing stable for any pet horsey in the history of the world. Naimy is quite the lucky pet horse!

And Rania continues to grow into quite the busy little toddler -- the transformation is quite incredible, as she becomes more and more verbal. She emphatically shakes her head up and down or back and forth to emphasize whether she wants food or to change her diaper. She also loves her little ELMO toy which goes around singing songs, as Rania joyously dances by waving her arms.

Things are good at the Woodward household.
