02.29.2012 Happy LEAP DAY

It's leap day, that extra day in February that makes my son's birthday next month a whole day further away. HAHAHA

That is all we can talk about lately. His birthday, what he is going to do, what he wants, who he wants to invite, what kind of party he should have, can he invite girls, etc.

He seriously gets on our Amazon account every few days to drool over his wish list and add more things.

Not like it is hard to know what interests my boy. Plain and simply, it's

L E G O S

Always has been. Forever shall be. His newest adoration is NINJAGO Legos. Pretty much Ninja fighters with all kinds of cool weapons and fighting palaces, yadda yadda.

I learned the hard way last night at KMart that there is a WHOLE NEW type of Legos out there - the Dinosaur Legos. (If ever 2 things did NOT go together it is that!) We had a minor meltdown when I wouldn't buy him all the sets RIGHT.THAT.MINUTE so he could scratch that itch.

It is hilarious. It is Jurrasic Park for Legos. The same jeeps, velociraptors from the movie are now in boxed sets. I guess this fulfills all parts of the boys imaginations. No need to build cities then get out your dinosaur toys to crash them down. Now those ever so smart Lego people found a way to combine those things the boys love into one set. First was the blocks, then Star wars, then pirates, then Ninjas, now Dino's. I don't think it is ever posssible for my son to move past his "Lego phase".

It is as ingrained in him as eating.

He loves nothing more than making "creations" and playing for hours.

Mommy of course hopes this translates into some sort of engineer or other fulfilling career choice where he will continue to do what we loves involving building and creating. It is either that... or the next Justin Beiber.

For now we just indulge in his creative side and let him go wild "wishing" on his Amazon Wish List. He was up bright and early adding more things. Craziness. I guess when athe birthday does roll around i can just point people HERE.

So Happy Leap Day to all of you - I have a party to plan so I better get to it!!!
