LEGOS!

We finally found something that's been able to drag Adlani away from the TV...other than padlocking the entertainment center doors closed.  LEGOS!!  Ben bought him a couple of kits last week but the age range was 7-14 so I didn't think he was ready for them.  He needed a little help to keep him on track, but he's really good at looking at the isometric drawing and applying it to the next piece that needs to go on.  After his trouble with writing last year we worried about his fine motor skills, but he is able to put the tiniest pieces together.  He worked really hard on the dirt-digging, alien-killing contraption below (60+ steps to complete it!) and he was so proud!  Somebody's going to have to get a second job to support his habit but at least it gets him away from Sponge Bob.
