Stephen in his element, teaching his preschool mascot, Gerald the Giraffe, how to make Transformers out of Lego Duplos. Stephen is getting pretty good at making interesting creations. They all have names and many of them are his interpretation of a particular toy that he wants.

Stephen let Gerald sleep in.

And he worked hard to keep little brother away...
