Amara's Car is Awesome!

 If you have seen the Lego movie, than you understand my use of 'awesome' (for those who have not seen it, the main song basically goes like this, "Everything is awesome." Sure there are other lyrics but that is all ya hear after the fifth time!) But anyhow, when we went to Legoland, Don bought the girls each a lego set. Havana bought a 

friends set (not surprising there; its sweet and very girly and has two doll characters.) Amara, she wanted something from the movie. It took a good while to decide  but Emmet and Wyldstyle were included in only one set, so that was that. Ms. Independent, Super Focused Amara decided to make the cop car on her own. Three days later and here she is; proud and happy.  I suspect this is the first of many more complicated Lego projects. We have done many a free style and simpler projects but I guess at 6 1/2 she is stepping up her game. And I love that both my girls are into lego play. I see alot of boys we know  interested in Legos but not that many girls. We are definitely not parents who do 'boy'or 'girl' toys or colors for that matter. 

Anyhow, here is Amara's work. It seems so simple when done but I will tell you it was hard work with a lot of  frustration as well. But she did it!  And she did it well!
