Speaking of LEGO, my son (5) constructed an ostrich all by himself. I think it's a pretty good likeness, actually. #cleverboy

LEGO Americana Roadshow: Building Across America I just checked out this traveling exhibition from LEGO and was quite impressed. The scale ... -

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
I love it when kids do that. My son (at that age) would put together kits by himself, but then aggravate his grandfather by "customizing" them. lol
ReplyDeleteGood times. The only time my mother would trust us three boys when we were really being quiet was when she found us all playing with LEGOs.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! :-D
ReplyDeleteFuture architect or Spiderman!! Great kid! :)
ReplyDeleteNow that my son is nearly 14, he spends more time on Minecraft than with his Legos (although he still free-forms things). I guess that game is like an unending Lego set.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Bathory The problem I have with Minecraft is that, since I wouldn't run out of blocks, I would never know when to quit. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle indeed. Sometimes it's a battle to get him to go to bed. We checked last night, back to back, and the boy is approaching Mom height. He's even taken to stealing my band t-shirts because they fit him now.
ReplyDeleteCute, but don't let him take it near a school; its got a handle, a round bit in the front and a hammer in the back.
ReplyDeleteYeah, zero tolerance is ridiculous. I keep pushing it with the shirts I let my son wear. Yesterday's was a World of Warcraft shirt with a big-ass man-eating dragon on it. He said none of the adults paid attention so I guess I have to try harder.
ReplyDeleteViewing this picture further proves my belief that I have a slight OCD issue with legos. I have not touched my legos (yes, at 34 years old I still have every lego that I have ever purchased...including the paper with the directions) in almost 20 years, but I have not dealt with my lego issues. My beef with legos, as it relates to this picture, is with that hinge piece. It used to drive me nuts that the hinge reversed the position of the legos. You couldn't even take the hinge apart and put it the "correct" position. Ok, my rant is over now.
ReplyDeleteNick Gilkison That was the old hinge. This new hinge is reversible (since it consists of two separable parts), and Colin simply didn't care that it was upside-down. So, your OCD might deserve some new blocks. :-D
ReplyDeleteCraig Froehle About 6 months ago I was in my parents basement and found the Rubbermaid container which has all of legos. I want to get them out to see what all I have. However, I know if I do my kids will want to play with them (i.e. tear them apart and lose everything) so I have selfishly kept them in the garage. I am not sure if that makes me a bad parent, but I don't care....those are my legos!
ReplyDeleteNick Gilkison Oh, come now...a LEGO first belongs to children. Share them* and you'll enjoy them all over again. :-)
ReplyDelete*Assuming they're old enough. The kids, not the Legos.
I have thought about it, but I don't know if I can be fair in a fight over legos....all rational "sharing" rules would be tossed out.
ReplyDeleteI kept my legos boxed away from my kids, but I didn't want them inspired to do the horrible things I did over time to my legos: chop, glue, melt, reshape...
ReplyDeleteEggo my Lego!
