Stupid Blocks

Since she's a bit more mobile, I thought it would be a good idea to get something for our living room floor to keep her from hitting her head. Walmart had a few different options - Dora, Princess games, Cars and ABC's. We decided to get ABC's and be educational. 

So far they've just upset my OCDness. 

First off - they don't package them in alphabetical order. I mean, come on! 

So I just put them together ignoring the order in order to get them to her faster. 

Only there's 26 and there is no way to connect them and make it even unless you do two rows of two. I don't need an aisle runner. I need a play surface. 

None of this seems to bother her.

When my Beloved got home I told him my issues. He already knows I'm crazy so this didn't really come as a surprise. We laid them out in alphabetical order so the placement isn't even. Seriously - they couldn't include 4 shapes blocks maybe?! Triangle, circle, square, star - BAM!! EVEN!! But no. They needed to make the crazies crazier. 

I'm PRETENDING they did it on purpose to account for my ottoman. Yeah, yeah - let's go with that.

When in alphabetical order the color pattern is soothing.....except for R. The R is off. Seriously!? 

Lord help me. 

We should have bought the princess one.
