One is two, the other forty-two. <BR/><BR/>I don't know who gets more excited in the LEGO store - Kyle or John. Mr. Budget melts away the moment he crosses the threshold, eyes devouring the eventual move from DUPLO to "real" LEGOs. <BR/><BR/>My poor arches can testify to the LEGO assault on my home. Those QUATRO things can do some serious damage to a foot!<BR/><BR/>But, I'd rather have the Boog obsessed with LEGOs than video games and TV.D.

My then-six-year-old had to do the first one for me, but after that I learned to help.<BR/><BR/>Save your sanity -- don't buy the other brands of "Lego-alikes". They may look cool but they don't stick together as well.<BR/><BR/>My youngest is almost 12, and sometimes he still lets me help build a new Bionicle model.

And if your kids are anything like mine, well, the legos end up on the floor where some unsuspecting victim steps on them in the middle of the night on the way to the bathroom. If not picked up, ultimatly they end up being sucked away by the vaccum, or lost into the pit of no return.<BR/><BR/>MichelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
