Playing Duplos with Pauly

One of Paul's all-time favorite toys is his Lego Duplos. They are basically big Legos and perfect for the under 6 crowd. To me regular Legos seem way to complex and difficult until they are about 10, even though according to the Lego, they start at age 6 and up. Amelia has some pink Legos and she likes to play with them, but Kevin and I have to build everything for her if she wants it to look like the pictures. With Duplos, they are chunky and easy for them to snap together and separate themselves. Paul can play with them for HOURS and it always amazes us the things he comes up with. He has a couple of the basic sets, the fire station and a couple Toy Story 3 sets and one Cars set. The other day we cashed in his piggy bank so he could order some more Duplos. He had asked before Christmas if he could take his piggy bank to the bank to get some more toys. I told him he needed to wait until after Christmas to see what he gets for toys before we buy more toys. Well he held me to my promise! The little stinker had $53.89 in change and $17 cash in his piggy bank. Plus $25 he got for Christmas, so he was able to get a lot of new Duplos sets. We ordered 4 new sets and a 15x15 base plates to build more creations on. His favorite thing to build these days is a gas station and a car wash, he can build it 4 times a day and it looks different every time. The kid has quite the imagination on him!
