The Chaos Theory

Lautje loves his puzzle toys. He can spend the better part of an hour scattering the pieces to the four corners of the living room (and sometimes even further afield). But not surprisingly, they too fall victim to his love of chaos. He becomes genuinely irritated when someone puts the pieces back in the board: he simply must remove them as quickly as possible. Sometimes, this simply entails Lautje removing the pieces in a rather orderly fashion.
But most of the time he lacks the patience for such activities, which is when he uses his favorite short-cut: dumping the board upside down in one massive chaos-inducing movement. So long as all of the pieces scatter widely around the carpet, he's happy...

Family Resemblance

Occasionally, when sifting through the multitude of photos taken in the first year+ of Lautje's life, the Mommy or Daddy have a weird flashback moment where Lautje so obviously resembles someone in his family lineage. In this instance, the Daddy noticed a peculiar resemblance between Lautje...
and his Granddaddy...
Of course, while Lautje was quite happy to get his golfing hat from the Grandparents for Christmas, he remains rather disappointed that the Hofbrauhaus dark beer was somehow lost in transit... At least, that is what the Daddy keeps telling him.
