Is this normal behaviour??

My three year old son was left to play in the play area at Newcastle Novotel whilst his Mum and I tried to get £12.50s worth of breakfast into our bellies. When we collected him, this is what he'd built...

hmm you need to ask?

I guess your dreams of him being a hairdresser have been quashed...

he could be under alien mind control

seen any bright lights lately??

Buy him a load of inch box for his next birthday and see what he comes up with

Unknown if it's normal, but he has a carreer in structural engineering without a doubt

Start saving now to fund an engineering degree.......

you know that conservatory and extension you and the missus have been talking about?

Well you don't need to pay any polish labourers to build it now.

I'm not sure I want any sort of structure made from a pile of small pieces of wood......

give him some glue then or a welder and some chassis plans

did you let him carry on? I wonder if he would have made a pyramid? Was he upset when you dragged him away?

I used to do stuff like this whe i was a kid, a box of lego and an extra strong mint every half hour I would be happy all day.

You thought of letting him design you an all new locost?

And definately time to get him a large box of lego I use to spend hours with it as a kid.

same here Lego best toy ever invented

He was happy to leave it as I'd promised him a look a big ship. We took him to see the Turbinia and he was happy enough!

not enough triangulation surely, send him back to the drawing board,

seriousley though my lad is three and although he is bright he hasnt got nthat far yet, give him all the encouragement you can full marks

Better money from architecture than engineering.

Very neat for a 3 year old.

I had both and I turned out fine

I bought a big bag of Lego from a charity shop for £3 yesterday for my grandkids to play with, bargain as it had lots of wheels in and I haven't got many left.
