Roo: Could Be Good, Could Be Bad...

[woodwardiocom]

Today, shortly before Roo's bedtime, I got out a couple of Lego bins I wanted to sort. The Legos mostly stay inside cabinets, so she hasn't had a lot of exposure to 'em. She sees the bins from across two rooms, and says, "Oh, blocks!" (Well, it's more like "bahx", but we translate.) She scampers over to me, and requires me to pick her up. I then open one of the bins, and she says, "Oooooooooooo, blooooocks!" like I just opened the Ark of the Covenant to reveal Santa clutching a pair of Choco-Tacos just for her.

She proceeded to assist (assume that word had sarcasm-quotes so mild I omitted them) as I ran a batch of plates through my Box4Blox, by pushing things down to the next level. She dropped a few, but not many, and I kept a close eye to make sure she didn't nom any. (Thankfully, we don't have one of those kids who puts everything in her mouth.) She was a bit cranky when mom took her away to bed.

So, it appears my Lego-fannishness is genetic. I hadn't expected it to manifest so strongly, so soon! I can see a lot of Duplo in my immediate future...

This is why I perform Star Wars Lego construction at gingerkat's house.

I've added a few things to Roo's wishlist. You should see if you approve.

I would drop the MegaBloks set (lower quality), and the Quatro set is grossly overpriced (since they stopped making Quatro stuff years ago).

Duplo, you say? Would you be interested in a reasonably large assortment of used Duplo (blocks, people, animals, trees, vehicles, etc)? My daughter has decided it's time to level up to Lego, so we just took some photos of the collection for use in a listing on eBay. But if you might be interested in a purchase or trade, we can forward the photo for your consideration.

I'd be interested, surely! I'm woodward@prismnet.com.
