I was worried when that robot, repair tech thought Vanessa might be abusing Spencer but then he did fix him, only he sent Vanessa from the room while he did it and he added some, unasked for, upgardes. It does make you wonder what those upgrades...

You are on to something here Turlough and I agree; Legos are the best toy for the creative mind of a child. I have boxes and boxes of the magnificent colorful, little, building blocks. The first set we bought for my older son was when he was four...
