I have to brag

I have loved Legos ever since I got my first set at age 7 or 8. I used to sit in front of the TV every Saturday morning and build all kinds of things: helicopters, semi trucks, race cars, you name it. I entered a building contest the local McDonald's was having when I was 12 and stomped the competition (several kids were older than me, too). They were building little houses and windmills and I showed up with a 2 foot long tractor trailer dump truck, LOL. I won a Happy Meal and a radio shaped like French Fries.

They definitely inspire creativity. I'm glad to see your son enjoying building and coordination skills at such a young age.

Time to save up many $$ for him to go to Cal Tech or University of Wisconsin!

WOW He's so smart AND you have found something to keep him occupied for more than 5 minutes and that in itself is amazing but the end result is AWESOME.

Way to go little guy

How happy he's looking with his lego toy, and yes, he's very smart! I can see a little engineer growing up there!


You must be so proud!

Wow! Pretty impressive stuff for a four-year-old! If you can spare him for a day, I have a computer table that has sat unassembled in its box for over a year. Do you think he could lend a hand?

I became an engineer but must admit at 4 most of my construction skills were in taking things apart. I don't believe i started building things until around 6-7 when I received an Erector set for Christmas. Although the Lego block was developed in the late 40's the Blocks similar to what we have today didn't arrive until I was in my late teens, i don;t think your son will require any encouragement to become a designer/engineer, it seems it is natural for him. He is a very smart young man,

Impressive! I didn't start making any sense out of Lego instructions until at least 5 lol. Maybe he will grow up to build things...and actually get them right because he can read a blueprint!
