The Chopper

While Bennett's favorite gift thus far is his science kit, AP's has a new favorite toy, as well.  Andy's big sister takes home the prize, for the remote controlled helicopter she gave her littlest brother.

 Several nights, this is how I have found the boy and his dad.  They focus so directly on keeping that chopper from crashing.  When it does crash (and it usually does) they laugh, and talk about the details of the crash, then discuss how to operate the vehicle in a successful manner.  I have thought about reminding Andy that the boy is 5 YEARS OLD, and does not have much experience with toys of this caliber, then Bennett gives a detailed suggestion, that usually results in another, bigger and better crash.  And the process begins again...  It's rather comical.  I'm pretty sure - if Harper could stay awake past 6pm - we would roll our eyes at those boys.
