I love their original metal trucks which you can still get usually TRU has the best deal on them, with a construction hat made to fit little heads. We love Lego of every shape kind and size. We are currently partial to the City and Creator sets, my boys are 5, 6, and 1. Our favorite toy ever in 6 years of buying them is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PHLU3M?ie=UTF8&tag=alsiofli-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002PHLU3M" rel="nofollow">Fisher Price Shake n Go Speedway</a>.

Thanks. What charged up Reed most recently was I gave him <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LDVU28?ie=UTF8&tag=alsiofli-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000LDVU28" rel="nofollow">3 of those Nerf pistols and 3 sets of safety glasses and of course enough bullets for a year</a>. Totally cool. We had fun running and shooting each other in the yard with a 3rd chum. He was instantly better than me! I didn't wear the eye gear once and took one in the eye. It hurt. After that I won't let Reed shoot them around anyone who is not wearing glasses, aka Phoebe. Best, Alan Hello Terri,
Great blog. Thanks. What charged up Reed most recently was I gave him 3 of those Nerf pistols and 3 sets of safety glasses and of course enough bullets for a year. Totally cool. We had fun running and shooting each other in the yard with a 3rd chum. He was instantly better than me! I didn’t wear the eye gear once and took one in the eye. It hurt. After that I won’t let Reed shoot them around anyone who is not wearing glasses, aka Phoebe.
