We have been talking about getting the girls Tegu blocks this year.  My husband thinks they look really cool.  So today, he linked me to Tegu Live, which was pretty fun to watch.  What happens is that you use Twitter to request what you want the Tegu Genius to build, and then he builds it!  I saw him build the Taj Mahal, a giraffe with a bow tie, an ice cream sundae, a cat playing the piano, a windmill, the Empire State Building with King Kong, a fairy with wings and a wand, a hadron collider, a monster truck, Santa and his sleigh, and a chicken.  It’s really cool!

So, my request was

@tegu Can you make a mother with a breastfeeding baby?

Yah, I guess I’m the type that the first thing I ever think of is breastfeeding!  I can’t help it!  They skipped me at first

@tegu The windmill was very cool, but why did you skip me Tegu? So sad.

but then I got

@LactNarration Hey we’re building you a baby bottle with love. We support you putting in it with whatever you’d like

Here’s the video of my “request”, the Baby Bottle:

I was kind of annoyed that they wouldn’t make a breastfeeding mama.  I thought the magnets would be a perfect way to keep the baby latched to the mama.  I don’t know if they didn’t want to make it because it was hard to make or because of some more political reason.  But they made a lot of hard things.  And if you know me, you know what I think about bottles as a symbol for babies, so I was really not thrilled with the decision to make a baby bottle when I asked for breastfeeding.

@tegu Thanks but it’s not really what I wanted. Sorta the opposite actually How about a mama holding or rocking a baby? No bottles pls.

@LactNarration Our Tegu Genius is building you a baby right now!

The Tegu Genius made two Tegu Babies, one crawler and one toddler, and then he proceeded to rock and “nurse” them at the end!  So fun!  So, not exactly what I asked for, but pretty cute! Tegu, Baby!
