From Nothing to Something with LEGO

We love Legos at our house... but my four year old - when he isn't playing with them, he's pouring over the catalog ( I think his 'wish list' has an opening in 2029 ).

Funny story... a few weeks back I bought him the Mandalorian Battle Pack ( ages 6 - 12 ). He could hardly wait to put it together. I promised that we would build it after I got a drink of water. I got side-tracked with a honey-do item... and didn't get back upstairs for fifteen minutes. When I returned, I found him playing with a finished speeder.

Dad: "Sorry... I'm back."
Patrick: "Vroooooom.... pew... pew..."
Dad: "Oh. It's finished. Did your brother help you?"
Patrick: "Nope."
Dad: "Did your sister help you?"
Patrick: "Nope."
Dad: "You put it together by yourself?"
Patrick: "Yep. WEEEEEEEE  pew... pew... pew."
Dad: [ mouth wide open ] "How?"
Patrick: "Dad. I just followed the instructions."
