P has had "robotic dinosaur" on his wish list for two years. You can't even imagine how tickled I was when I found this wooden puzzle R/C T-rex last December. I believe I squealed.
Because he loves putting together these 3-D wooden puzzles. One that walks and roars too? Forgettaboutit. But.... It took us a while to get it together (so many projects, so little time;) And then the batteries weren't quite charged, and then the leg wasn't put together correctly... And then the whole thing finally came together today. Powerful batteries, a ferocious roar, the whole nine yards. The child immediately set up BB's chateau for the attack he has now envisioned for two years.
And thanks to fantastic holiday presents, the onslaught was even more lovely than it would have been before. The ever amazing Aunt Alicia hand-sewed two monster dolls for P's BB family (because, what is a monster clan without an Aunt and Uncle?!?!) They happily reside in BB's chateau, as P wishes his Aunt and Uncle would reside in ours ;) Then, Uncle Ian gave P some bendable sculptey. Whalah! We now have a BB that can stand on his own two feet, and even wave his monster arms a bit. And so the final show-down occurred, with lots of roaring and pleading and cackling...
