Fuller inherits fun

A few weeks ago we spent some time at UTC watching the end of a First Lego League competition. Some friends of ours had kids participating (I think it was grades 3 to 6), so we went to see what it was all about.

If you know Damon at all, you know Lego was is a big part of his life. When I met him he had a rather large collection. And there were a few after-church trips to Toys-R-Us to check out the Lego selection for some project D was working on.

Damon has been waiting for the day he could share his Lego passion with Fuller since before he was born. And while Fuller has been playing with his Lego Quattros for a while, Damon decided we should introduce Fuller to the true Lego.

Lego is very special, especially since they are small parts and so many. We make Fuller clean up everything else first. And he has to play with them supervised. And before he can move on to another toy, we make him clean up the Lego bricks.

And that is where Fuller got his inheritance.

Damon has this officially licensed Lego bag he received as a kid. It is a circle of denim that closes up into a bag with a drawstring. The bag holds as many Lego bricks as you can fit in there. Enough to keep Fuller happy for now. (Fuller doesn't realize we have many, many storage bins in the attic.)

I have already lost track of all the hours D and Fuller have spent building with the Lego bricks. They have built sheep, birds, cows, all kinds of vehicles, and of course towers and walls. As an added benefit, Fuller has made great progress in learning his colors.

It's fun to pass things down to your kids. And this is something I know Fuller will be passing down his kids.
