I often tell Jude, our 5 year old eldest son, I should have named him Zack, Zack, he’s a Lego maniac. And then he gets a confused look on his face.
I remember Lego’s ad campaign using Zack in the 80’s and/or 90’s, do you guys? I’ll refresh your memory:
Kidding aside, Jude is a Lego maniac. A couple of days ago, he spent a solid three uninterrupted hours in his room alone playing with Legos. It was beautiful, actually. And then I wondered if too much of a good thing was a bad thing. I concluded that three hours of Lego time probably wasn’t that bad.
About that time, I heard a shriek come from his room. A mad shriek. I went in there and asked cautiously: “You’re still playing by yourself, aren’t you?”
And Jude said, “Yes, I was just having an argument with my Legos.”
Somehow I didn’t feel any better about the situation.
I did love the little creation he made, though:
Everything he makes is so… symmetrical. It makes me smile.
I feel like I should remember this commercial.
I’m also impressed by Jude’s Lego skillz. You can tell that he’s very intentional when he’s creating these masterpieces!
Wow! That is really, really, good for a 5-year old!
Another budding engineer in the family. or maybe Cat operator!!
That so reminds me of my little brother. He would build stuff with Legos, Knex, anything – for hours on end. And in the fall, he’s going to school for engineering. I think it’s a good sign!
Jessie – We should get our boys together. Huston is a Lego fanatic too! He goes up to his room and plays for hours. We also put a box of them outside and he builds outside on the table on the deck so he is getting fresh air!
I take pictures of Huston’s creations and am making a book for him!
I love their imaginations!
Legos are awesome. Secretly I like to build too!
