Yesterday, while my son and I were walking down the driveway at our cabin, he found a fist-sized (my fist, not his) rock that was nearly perfectly round. He picked it up and said "Ball!" I said, "That's a rock." He turned to me and looked straight in my eye and declared "No, it's a ball!"

Not bad for 18 1/2 months, forming sentances that is. Already disagreeing with daddy and he's got his mama's stubborness. Heavens help me.

Cole,

There is a link in post #29. As a dad of 3 he makes me envious of the pics he took, I don't think I have that many of all 3!

I LOVE Legos! I made a transformer out of legos once. Back in the day when there were only about 50 basic parts. "They don't make 'em like they used to."

I've got them all from 2 boys. Buying them to put under the tree was the best part. But shop early because they go fast. Join the club and get the catalogs sent to you.

The bad thing about lego's is stepping on them in the middle of the night.

I still love legos and lincoln logs. When ever my nephew has them out I end up playing with them in the middle of conversation. Luckily it's always with family and they've gotten used to me playing with the legos, the lincoln logs, the hotwheels, and from time time Thomas the Train. That is until my nephew takes them from me. .

Dave should start planning a trip to LegoLand. I hear the kids get a real kick out of that place.

Perhaps you should become a Lego architect and create spec homes!

Legos were alwayts my favorite toys too. I never understood why anyone wanted to play with them after you built something. i mean, all the fun was in planning and building the stuff in the first place

I am a compulsive builder too. My friends joke (except it's not really a joke) that if something needs assembly, that they should just leave the package and a toolbox near me and come back in an hour.

My son is going to have more Legos than he'll know what to do with.

Sorry I am late.

I am late but want to congratulate you also. When my wife had her c-section, it turned into an emergency one. Cord was wrapped around my Sons' neck. I was kicked out of the room. That was 12 and half years ago. So have you had to take your. I have been to LegoLand and love it. Don't like the rest of those parks. I live about 2 hours away from LL, son loves the place.

Thanks! Our c-section was planned b/c the Dr wanted to remove a fibroid. Little did he know that she had a rare condition. Had we not had a scheduled c-section, we would have had an emergency one...and I could have lost both spouse and wife. We're very fortunate.

I dislike DisneyLand, World, .... parks. I'll wait til he's about 36" tall and take him on good rides at Cedar Point!
