Although many noises are associated with childhood, one specific sound stands out in my mind whenever I remember Little Guy as—well, as a little guy. It's the stirring of Legos as he searched through the tub to find a particular piece. For many years, he asked for Legos for his birthday and Christmas. Dr. Lobo would protest, saying “We are NOT bringing more Legos into this house. He already has millions of pieces!” “I know,” I would respond, “but that’s about the only thing he plays with.”

Does Little Guy still like Legos? Well, let’s just say that Santa Claus has brought him Lego sets for the last two years. After all, that’s about the only thing he plays with.

I'm going to have to tell my son about the exhibit. I know he'd love to see it.
Oklahoma Granny, unfortunately I don't think this exhibit is on display right now. It was on display for a while, and then it was closed. But it was brought back for a while, with new things added. I'm guessing that they'll add more to it and display it again sometime. If I hear about it being on display again, I'll let you know. All of the kids in your family--big or little--would love it.
Very cool, Jeannie! I wish I'd known about that exhibit. My youngest would have LOVED to see it. He designs his own Lego Star Wars ships (and lots of other things) and posts them on the Lego site. He's also been putting complicated Lego sets together since he was four!
This was amazing. Sounds like it was definitely worth seeing.
