Rain? what's that? Gee's all we had was sun, sun and more sun... life's
hard then you get burnt :P Would you like to send up a bottle of that stuff
called 'rain'? heh.

My soon to be 6 year old son was successfully putting all the instructions
together at the age of 3, he's fairly good, sometimes we'll do them together
and he'll tell me I've grabbed the wrong piece *shame* hehe. I am amazed
that he can put some of the large sets together without a problem too, it's
great to see they can recognise what's been added in the next equation. Now
I am having to start him on Technic stuff as he finds System Lego too easy
haha. He's not so crash hot with the stickers though (maybe cause I talk
him out of it? :P).
