How Green Becomes Wood

Ivy stared at Lex for a moment and then held up a block which had the front half of the Loch Ness Monster on it and said, "Muyya!" but to non-Arabic speakers, it may have just sounded either like nonsense babbling or maybe baby-speak for monster, although the board read simply, Nessie.
But then she saw Kiki playing with one, and distressed, she stood up and said, "No!"
 
"Nessie!" Lex said, who had no idea what Ivy may or may not be saying. "Very cool." She saw Kiki playing with the block was upsetting Ivy and stood to interfere. "It's okay. I've got it," she told Ivy and picked up Kiki. "Can you pick up your block?"

Kiki looked grumpy but let Lex move her.
 
Ivy quickly went over and retrieved her block, which she held close to her chest for a moment. With the most serious face an eighteen month old could muster, she scolded Kiki by saying, "Vee!" before returning to try and figure out her puzzle. It was very tricky, and it took a lot of her concentration, but she was really doing her best to solve it.
 
"Vee?" Lex repeated to herself questioningly. "Good job, Ivy. You are doing very well."

Kiki was highly unimpressed by Ivy's attempt at scolding her and slunk out of Lex's arms to bathe herself.
