Robo-Boogie

Will and I sent Will's nephews (and, to be honest, his nephew's dad) toy robots that you have to build. As Will put it, it would be amusing to have Oscar and Lucas demanding their robots be built while Andrew fiddled with all the fiddly-bits.

Today, Andrew sends us this:

"I could hear your worry that we had not got all the pieces after Luke’s exuberant and excited opening of your Christmas present. Very happy to report that we even had two mini screws left over! Luke has been following the robot around all afternoon (often humming the Star Wars theme tune… so robocan might have to morph into droidican). Picture attached of the one second when he stopped. Thank you again – I had a good giggle with the boys putting it together."
I would just like to add for the record, that Lucas looks too much like a big boy in this photo instead of the rambunctious little boy we saw at the end of June. It sorta freaked me out about how much these kids change, almost over night.

I also would like to point out that we built the same robot only we made our eye wires curly by wrapping the wire around a pencil. We also altered the length of the arms by cutting the straw as it seemed improbable that a robot could really function in "real life" with arms that long.
