Opening the set. It is huge. 1254 total pieces. The biggest lego he has ever built. The recommended ages are 9-14. I was not going to do much helping. This was HIS toy and Santa thought he was old enough. 
Carefully following the directions. Taking his time. Lon did bag 1 and 2 on Friday afternoon. I told him he had to take a break for dinner. Then it was time to relax. We did not have to build this all in one day. He was good with that. He was getting a little tired.
On Saturday afternoon, we had a friend come over to visit and help build. It was the boys deal, no parental involvement. 
Daddy watching Lon build. Lon wanted Daddy to watch, but not really build. 
Showing me how it works. He got it all built all by himself. He did not make mistakes he did not catch. There were no fits thrown while making this! 
Do you see how cool this is?
Lining up the mini figs, except for Han Solo. He is in the Falcon, ready to pilot it away at a moments notice
Doing some playing. We are going to get some fishing line and I am going to hang it up from his ceiling. We think that would be very cool.

WOW! WOW and Double WOW! We are impressed. Lon does a great job of following the directions. He is a LEGO Engineer.
Hugs to the Builder!

Awesome job! He reminds me of my son at that age--he was all about following the diagrams himself. Once, there was a part missing--we had to write to Lego, but they sent us the missing piece fairly quickly. It only happened that one time.
I like the idea of hanging the Millenium Falcon from the ceiling!
Oh, and those fitness posters are terrific!
