If you've ever stepped on a little tiny Lego in the middle of the night, then you understand why I say the word Lego makes me cringe. I 100% believe there are three levels of pain; pain, excruciating pain, and stepping on a Lego. I wouldn't dare wish that on anyone! That sh*t hurts. Good thing for me is I strongly believe that little tiny pieces plus little tiny kids do not mix, so we don't own any regular Legos. (There are unfortunately a few floating around the house that have somehow managed to get in.) We do on the other hand have the big Legos. (Megablocks or Lego Duplo) and use them quite regularly. My kids absolutely love them! And their imaginations run wild as they build whatever they can come up with. We also use them during our school day; they are great for math! Addition, subtraction, counting in general. ☺ Great visual for my oldest and keeps him interested in doing his work and also occupies my youngest. I'm sure at some time or another those little insanely painful Legos will make their debut into our house, but for now I'll stick with the ones that if I run into in the middle of the night they just go hurling across the room instead of treating my foot like a pin cushion.

The start of our day, homeschooling in our pajamas! While drinking my coffee this morning the oldest declared I come look right away. They had built a Lego tower on top of the John Deere Tractor. A few minutes later I could hear the oldest counting as he placed more blocks on the tower. He was trying to get his younger brother to count with him, all I could hear was "One, two, three. Count with me! Four..." you get the picture.
Future blog posts will be about messy kids and our "eggs"periments, plus lots more! Be sure to come back for those!

I feel your pain girl
ReplyDeleteWe have those damn blocks too! We also have light sabers (sp???) and I always trip over them even when I tell them they are to be in the room or outside. Never fails.
We have a rug moved to the corner of our living room and that is THE ONLY place legos are allowed. Since it is in the corner we don't have to walk across it except for when we're changing a dvd. My son (4 years) can leave his lego creations out and it doesn't make the living room seem too messy. He's actually really good about keeping them in the designated area. They are so very painful to step on!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely painful to step on! I wish I could have an area like that, unfortunately with the toddler I doubt he will listen to keeping them in one place. I've been finding the big ones in kitchen cabinets, the tub, etc!
