Today we went to the mall to spend the afternoon. We had lunch, rode the carousel and the little train, and spent a lot of time at the Croc store. Of course, with money burning a hole in the kids' pockets, the main reason for the trip was to go to the Lego store. They each bought a couple of the new Bionicles that haven't made it to Walmart yet and Cooper bought this helicopter.
The best part is that Cooper was able to build this helicopter all by himself. Having an older brother, Cooper has always been ahead of his age in playing with the "big kid" Legos, but Noah would usually put them together for him and then he would play with them. If a part fell off, he would usually have to find Noah and have him put it back together. Later he was able to put the small Bionicles together by himself and eventually the large Bioncles too, but they are a lot easier to construct than the regular Lego toys. Seeing Cooper go to his room, instructions in hand, and assemble this helicopter all by himself was so cool.
that is awesome. my 8 year old got all of my brothers legos when he was his age. my son will spend hours building stuff. you should really scrap that story!!
