For the love of Bricks.

November 27, 2006 By Marta Darby 2 Comments

  • My mom calls him "Cerebrito" or "Little Brain."Jonhappy
  • He doesn’t let anyone, except his immediate family, call him Jon.
  • He prefers Jonathan.
  • He is a thinker of deep thoughts.
  • He has an extraordinary sense of humor.
  • He is intensely focused when he is building with his Legos.
  • We sometimes call him "Captain Distraction."
  • He will be turning 11 in just one month.

This evening while he and Lucy were at the rehearsal for their Christmas play, I snuck off to go Christmas shopping. The closest Lego shop to us is at Downtown Disney.  For Lego lovers, it is like Mecca.

It is there that I found this:

  1. It is a Lego Creation.
  2. It is a Robot.
  3. It came with passes to Legoland.

The Trifecta of Christmas Gift Perfection for my soon-to-be-11-year-old.

I left Lego Mecca with the giant shopping bag in one hand and a smug smile on my face.  Well… after I took pictures of the giant Darth Vader standing under the enormous giraffe. 
I confess. I LOVE LEGOS, too.

Don’t mention that to Jon, though. He doesn’t really think it’s appropriate for mom to get involved in things like this. After all…"It’s a guy thing." (secretly, I can’t wait to get my hands on the thing)

So… if I’m the complete opposite of "cool," does that make me "hot?"

(didn’t think so.)

    Maybe we can take a trip to the Lego store in DTD, if you would all like. I don’t think I have ever been in there, Maybe one speical fun thing for each kid and of coarse the adults…could be a plan….Think where you guys might experence with us. Let us now! Love, Pam I think I might want to ride the Casey Junior train and try and get in the cages…….my life long dream!….I got to get to bed or else I will never be there.

    I think you’re hot in a cool sort of way, of course.
