I'm quite happy that my 5yr old son is into Legos. He comes up with some
pretty interesting ships. Though (by MY standards) they might be cheesy,
they are very creative. He does like to play with computer games/Playstation.
I think the biggest difference in the whole deal, is that he likes what I like.
Since I like Legos, he does as well.
