Well Hayden saved up his birthday money and made a big purchase. I am not even going to tell you how ridiculously expensive this thing was, but it was his money so oh well! We did try to talk him into a less expensive one, but he was not having it. This thing contains over 1000 pieces and says it is for ages 9-14, yeah right. They obviously haven't met Hayden. He did all the work himself. We helped him sort everything into separate bags by colors and then he was off. Occasionally he would ask for help on finding a piece, but he kept his head down and followed the directions to a tee. It took about a week to put it all together, simply because of school and soccer. We are so proud of him, he even made five bucks off of it. John made him deal that if he would build the entire thing by himself with no help he would give him 5 dollars. I don't think dad thought he was going to have to pay up, he thought Hayden would be calling on mom to finish it. He wouldn't let me near it!
