The boy has been very, very patient, waiting two whole weeks for the workshop to be cleaned up, a table to be built, and the box of his very, very special Christmas present to finally be opened.

There are already plans to build a Lego train station, and to take Lego minifigs on a ride in the gondola car. He’s being very careful, very responsible, and couldn’t be prouder of his very grown up gift. He did let go for a second to throw back his head and wildly yell, “Thank you, Santa!”, though.
Yeah, there’s no gleam in his eyes AT ALL!
What gleam? I don’t see a gleam, I’m too blinded by the sparkle of joy. ;)
OH MY GOODNESS HE LOOKS SO GROWN UP!!!
Where did my little boy go? *sniff*
*snif* I know.
(It’s also because he looks older in that picture.)
