Damen's Lego

Damen REALLY REALLY wanted to buy the Star Wars Lego AT-AT but it was $120. I had to put the kabosh on that one! I told him it was just too much money to spend on a lego. He did some searching for the next step down, the AT-ST. Walmart had it for $80 (still too expensive in my opinion). With much internet searching he found it for $50 at lego.com (yes, HE found it). I gave in and let him use some of his Christmas money to order it. We had the big count down of delivery days until it would arrive. UPS got it here one day earlier than expected and you would have thought we were having Christmas all over again!

He started working on it right away. Unfortunately it was a school day so we had to convince him that it would still be there in the morning as it was time for bed. A STRUGGLE. He ended up getting up about 5 a.m. Friday morning and falling back asleep on the couch with the lego right on the coffee table in front of him. He got ready quickly so he could get some building in before we had to leave for school. As soon as we got home after school he started to build. He built until 10:30 p.m.!!! and then woke up Sat morning at 7:09 (because I told him he had to look at his clock and it MUST say 7 before he could get out of bed) and started building again. He did 95% of the building himself which is incredible as the box said for 14+, it probably should be 30+ because grandpa and I had struggles ourselves trying to help! and 1066 pieces.

I think this will be one lego that will have to stay on top of the dresser??
