Fort Bean

On Tuesday morning, I was doing some writing and Beaner was playing in the living room.  I heard all kinds of bumping and moving and dragging of toys around and so I kept on working.  Until suddenly it got quiet.  Never a good sign.

When I got up to check on him, I found Bean sitting in a corner in the living room in what I am pretty sure was his first attempt at building a fort.

He had dragged every toy he could find into this one corner in the living room and stuffed everything behind this little table.  And then he climbed in and just sat there with all his things.  Just hanging out in his fort.

And I would have thought that it was just an accident or coincidence that everything had accumulated into this one corner, but when I tried to pull the toys out and put them in the middle of the living room, Bean started screeching and squealing and yelling, “NO! NO! NO! NO!”  Clearly, he wanted all of his worldly possessions in this one little corner.

So, I left him in his fort for the next half hour while he took things out and put things back in.  It was his own little empire.  Fort Bean.
