Viewfinder

Some loyal Pepicek readers (and I am sure there are many of you out there) may have noticed the marked decrease in blog entries lately. While I clearly should take most if not all of the blame, I can't help but point out the other growing issue, which is the featured person of this blog's unwillingness to get his picture taken. What Felix really wants to do, I discovered, is take the pictures, which I can't help but be a little pleased with, considering my own obsession with images, and interest in youth having as much agency in their lives as humanly possible. I may be reading a little too much into this, as it could just be toddler-stubborness, but I prefer to see it in a positive light, and am working to find a way to channel this energy so that he gets to author some images, and I get to document a fleeting part of my child's life.

Until then, here are some pictures that Felix took of his blocks, his favorite of which is the cat - featured below. The cat actually came with the legos, and also fits into the little window which you can see in the top photo. A favorite game of Felix's is to place the cat in and out of the window frame and say "hi" and "bye" to it. He also likes to kiss the cat when we are done playing legos. The best thing to do with the legos, though, is to build cities consisting of many extremely tall towers, that I like to think are part of a futuristic universe a la Bladerunner.
