An Alexism

Alex is quite the little inventor-builder.  He's always coming up with something new using legos or hotwheel tracks.  Last week he engineered an automatic braking system for his lego car.  I'm not kidding.  It wasn't anything too involved... but it did actually work.  Wish I had a picture for you, but I'm not that organized.  The front of the car had under-fender blocks that made it lower.  So when you shoved the car forward and it nose-planted into the wood floor, the under-fender blocks dragged first and slowed it to a gentle stop.  He impressed me!
