No, I didn't step on one, as one of my friends asked. I just don't get them. I do like the basic concept: build something based on imagination. Take it apart. Make it better. Repeat. But now Bug is totally into LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean, which, I have to admit, is pretty darn entertaining as a mini-movie and video game, but as a toy (or increasingly-expensive series of toys), I'm confused. You buy a pile of LEGOs that Daddy has to put together. Then...do they really expect an almost-five-year-old to just look at it? He wants to play! Then, one by one, the components come apart and Mommy doesn't have the patience to fix them. Then everything ends up as a pile of LEGOs on the floor.
We could have just bypassed all of this and dumped the brand-new box of pieces directly on the family room floor, you know?
The reality is: I have little boys, and little boys like building with LEGOs. This means it's my duty as their mom to figure out some way to play with them that we can all enjoy. Here's what I'm finding so far:
- Build a marble maze, test structural stability
- LEGO balloon cars
- LEGO bingo (and other ideas)
- And when all else fails...LEGO boards on Pinterest
HMMMMMM; I wasn't aware of the acronym/caps rule! But, I agree with the lego value....makes little sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain, My son loves Lego (see lower case - in your face LEGO!) but he's really too young to build it himself so he insists that Hublet and I do it. then he plays with it for five seconds, it breaks and we have to build it again - groan.
ReplyDeleteI thought of you this week as my girls got 6 different sets of Lego Friends (the girly legos!) I didn't put any of them together, they love doing it either with their dad or by themselves... We even have a Christmas Lego scene that is set up like a little village :-P

ReplyDeleteHello everyone!! I'm Marilyn Here in the States and I'm here to talk about what Dr. James did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year. This disease started circulating all over my body and I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Val acyclovir, Acyclovir, and some other products and it really helped during my outbreaks but I totally got cured! From my HSV with a strong and active herbal medicine ordered from Dr. James herbal mix and it completely fought the virus from my nervous system, and I was tested negative after 15 days of using Dr. James herbal mix medicine. I'm here to let you all know that the herpes virus has a complete cure, I got rid of mine with the help of Dr. James herbal medicine. I came across a testimony of Tasha, on the internet testifying about Dr. James, on how he cured Her of 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of the great Dr. James (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com...]..., advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help with, so I emailed him telling him about me (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I'm going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too, Dr. James prepared and sent me his herbal mix medicine made of roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after 15 days I drank his herbal mix medicine, I was totally cured. No more inching, pain on me anymore as Dr. James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. The result came out negative.
