And my husband has finally put it together today. Our son now says to us, "this tip truck has to stay together until I am 8. then I can take it apart and try it for myself."<BR/><BR/>I'm all for the older age bracket thing too. Our son can put 7+ lego together no worries, but Mecanno is a whole new ball game.tielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305354988145542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-28005710511251774982007-12-27T20:38:00.000+11:002007-12-27T20:38:00.000+11:00I completely understand about the meccano!!

We still have the tickets he bought us last year. <BR/><BR/>At least this year they're not personalised with our names, so we're giving them to a work colleague of AB's who love the flicks.LBAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433555112198668513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21988256.post-89273689512957005022007-12-27T11:21:00.000+11:002007-12-27T11:21:00.000+11:00You see, this is why we spread the whole xmas feas...You see, this is why we spread the whole xmas feasting thing over 2 or 3 days.

I'm sure she would have been absolutely thrilled. Shame AB didn't get to partake, unless of course you took home a "doggie bag"?<BR/><BR/>Like Linnie, we do Lego here too..definitely see Miss A is into her crafting/thinking type gifts rather than the ceramic money box for an adult she was given (yep, one of THOSE gifts we were emailing one another about!!!).<BR/><BR/>How did you fair in that dept?

It usually ends in frustration on both counts and hence he probably hasn't touched it in the last 3 months.<BR/><BR/>He has just discovered lego which we both have much more fun with. I build as per instructions and he rebuilts and makes it so much cooler. I highly recommend lego.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
