Tebow has earned himself a nickname, “Tebow the Tornado.” He will walk/ stumble his way to an area of a room, destroy it and then move on to the next area. He takes great pleasure in toppling block towers and thinks that Legos/ Duplos should reside in the natural state of a pile on the floor. In fact, Grandpa Albert has occupied Tebow for many minutes by building brick towers out of Megablocks and Tebow will then take them apart in seconds, as if telling Grandpa Albert there is no reason for those bricks to be stacked on top of each other.

Which is why Fuller’s Christmas gift of the Jenga game is confusing to Tebow.

He sees this:

Isn’t it begging for tiny hands to knock it over? Tebow thinks so. And when we end up playing with Tebow around, Tebow reaches, grunts, and whines while Fuller and I take our turns playing the game.

The first time Tebow saw us playing, I was the one who lost, knocking the tower down when removing a crucial block. Tebow saw the blocks, picked up two and threw them down in anger. My baby was angry because he was not the one who knocked down the tower.

Someday we will let him play in our reindeer games, but right now, I guess we need to stick to playing Jenga when Tebow is napping. We can’t have a game ruined by a tornado.
