Lego Master


Or so he thinks.

Connor has become obsessed with Legos in the last year or so. His big present from Santa this year was a remote controlled Lego train that works with battery power. All three boys have been having fun watching it go around the tracks. And it actually moves pretty fast, considering how little track actually came with the very expensive set.

Though his first preference is still playing xBox, usually the Lego-esque game of Minecraft, he will still spend hours in his room playing with Legos. He makes up cities and acts out scenarios. It's cute to see him make up his own worlds and lose himself for hours in something that doesn't involve a screen.

Most of his sets are from the Lego City or the Creator collections. He has the cargo train set, the Coast Guard cutter and rescue helicopter, and the big fire station, along with several engines and police cars and other smaller creator sets. There are Legos all over his room most of the time. We've even taken to locking his room when he's not in there, to keep little brothers from systematically destroying his creations.

That's probably what he gets for shooting his Nerf dart guns at them all the time, don't you think?
