His daddy so thrilled.. ..Lego-ed him already..

haha...nice use of words.
i am weaning my boy off lego-buying cos we have tons of lego at home! and he only likes to build and don't destroy to replay. so this round, we bought a small gundam model for him to try out fixing over the holidays (we bought a tank model for him to fix after SA1 but he was not so keen as it involved using glue).

how do u keep the lego models then？my boy wil make n destroy, make n destroy n mix up all parts from other lego models....headache...[/quote]We custom made cabinets and the different themed Legos are allocated different parts of the house.. .. Harry Potter, Creator Buildings and Star wars are the 'hot's now..the rest are upstairs..

I keep the legos and the manual in a different box , so DS will not mix them up. ( he have several models) . After spending hours to fix it, he'll enjoy them for a week or two, then dismantle them again... I'm also trying \"wean\" him off from buying more legos.... but he love them.[/quote]I would feed DS Lego addiction if he develops one. It is better then Bey Blades or electronic games. DS will try out each model according to the manual, then dismantle and mix and match to build his own creation. So we basically have a whole box of all the Legos and a folder of all the manuals.

Even more so when that 1 or 2 marks may mean and A instead of a B

Ds lost EIGHT marks to carelessness... all on the easy portion of the Math exam (i.e., Paper 1). He lost no marks on Paper 2. We're currently in discussion about resuscitating the C***. :evil: :evil:

He is still considering.

C*** ? :? cake?

actually, if your son is interested in Lego, you can introduced him to the next step, Lego Mindstorm NXT. This is where you build a robot, or a car or any contraption with motors and sensors and program it to move according to your design. It teaches the kids the fundamentals of software programming in an easy to learn graphical manner. Children will find it much more satisfying to build a contraption that moves and respond to your commands.

If your child is not into programming robots, you can also introduce him to Lego Technics. The Lego Technics range of toys are realistic models based on actual real life vehicles (cars, trucks, construction vehicles, etc..). The advantage of a realistic model is that you get to learn about the mechanics of how gears interacts and how it translate motion from one plane to another.

There are also pneumatic parts in the Technics range. Compressed air is used in pneumatic cylinders to drive pistons. This will be a very good start to educate children in mechanical engineering concepts. Pneumatics pistons are used in SBS buses to open and close the doors.

Ummmm...

Tankee is wondering what you meant by \"C***\", so he guess that it's Cake, since it starts with \"C\" and it has 4 letters. :rotflmao:
