Today is [[Wikipedia: Eternal September|September {{duration in days|September 1, 1993|}}, 1993]]. Lego has been discussed online since 1983, particularly in the newsgroups net.kids and its successor misc.kids. At the start of the 1990s discussion took off heavily in various ''comp.*'' groups thanks to the rise of Lego robotics through Dacta, Lego/Logo, and later Mindstorms. In 1993 a [[rec.toys.lego|dedicated Lego newsgroup]] was started.

Today is September 11858, 1993. Lego has been discussed online since 1983, particularly in the newsgroups net.kids and its successor misc.kids. At the start of the 1990s discussion took off heavily in various comp.* groups thanks to the rise of Lego robotics through Dacta, Lego/Logo, and later Mindstorms. In 1993 a dedicated Lego newsgroup was started.

I think quality time is any time you give your children in which you are directly and obviously responsive to what they want. If they want to watch tv, ok, let them do it in your lap. If they want you to build castles with their Legos, that's ok. The point is that it's time when they know they have your attention, whether you're talking or not.

My two-year old is heavily into Legos (I know, they say three and up, but I can't keep his five-year old sister from playing with them, so all I can do is make sure he doesn't play with them alone...).
