Aiden's first model airplane



Aiden and I put together his first model airplane this weekend. I bought the kit at Micheal's for $0.50 and I have to say it was the best money I've spent in a long time. First of all, he was looking forward to putting it together for an entire day. Finally when the time came to put the plane together he was totally focused. He painted the entire thing by himself - no spills, no messes. I helped him glue the pieces together. We used a hair dryer to dry the glue since he didn't have the patience to wait for the glue to dry on its own. He was very proud of the final product and took it to school today to show his teacher and his friends.

  1. Aiden, I love the airplane and the fact that you put it together with your Mommy. I had picked up the boat, airplane, submarine and bird house at Michael's and my Stacie has put them together and painted them. She loves to do that kind of thing so I know you had a good time doing that. Maybe your Mommy can hang it from the ceiling or set it up where you can see your hard work every day.

  2. Awesome plane and high five on a job well done...both of you!!

    Your Daddy loved to put models together too, the smaller the pieces the better. Sometimes he'd even glue his fingers together and then he'd scream, "Ahh-h-h-h!!" He'd scrub and scrub and get the glue off nd then get right back to work on it until it was done.

    Great find Mommy!
