They've taken over our home. The little pieces find their way under my feet in the middle of the night, despite my careful organization. It is not uncommon to find a mini-figure in the silverware drawer or Gimli's double-sided battle ax in the bathtub. I have to be on my game with a curious toddler (who loves to try and eat LEGO wheels) in the house more than ever before. Big boys can be overly protective of their (very impressive) creations, while little boys lack the fine motor skills necessary to play with said creations without destroying them. Which may or may not lead to some weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Some might say that the hassle of LEGO's are not worth the trouble, and there have been occasions when I have been tempted to agree. But the fact of the matter is that LEGO's have provided our boys with many hours of constructive creating. They are the one toy that truly spans the ages. You might even say that LEGO's help bring our boys together.
Because really, what boy, regardless of age, can resist a LEGO creation of The Battle of Helm's Deep?
