We went to the Cheesecake Factory last night to celebrate. No wait on tables nor food (usually it's 45 minutes wait for table and another 1/2 hour wait on food). Signs of tough economic times for sure. Both the Mahi Mahi and the chicken dish we got were delicious! So I thought even though we already have tons of toys (we hardly brought any brand new toys since #2), I should get my girl her very own set of Lego, since she's always playing with brother's big kid ones (hence receiving "scolding" from Gor Gor all the time from "snatching just the pieces he needs at the moment"). So after dinner we went to the Lego store next door at the mall.
I wasn't sure whether there's any suitable set for her age and there I saw it - there were two PINK tubs of apparently girl orientated boxes, one 200+ pieces and one 400+ pieces. As soon as I pointed those out to her and said that she could have one (she proceeded to look at me suspiciously), but after I reassured her that she REALLY could have one, she picked out the smaller tub.
Yes it's 4+ but I think she's ready to graduate from duplos!
We followed the instructions and made these - she helped snap the pieces together for the "sister" and "brother" (she insisted that when you have a mui mui you have to have a gor gor). She snapped on all the "fruits" on the "tree" all by herself.
