Optimus Prime

This may just look like any old Optimus Prime but oh no. This is the ultimate optimus prime in all of its glory. During the summer, Hayden decided he just absolutely NEEDED this optimus prime. It was new. It was amazing. It was exactly what he wanted. Problem was this guy was $84.99. There was no way, no how that I was going to buy it for him or let anyone else buy it for him, even Santa.
Hayden knew the ONLY way that Ultimate Optimus Prime was making its way into our family was through a lot of hard work and earning money on his part.
Four and a half months of extremely hard work, many many chores, cleaning lots of dog poop and tooth fairy visits later, Optimus had a new home. (Luckily the price dropped to $59).
Hayden earned enough money to purchase his beloved Optimus Prime. He squealed with delight at he opened the package to play with his new toy. I must say.... Hayden loves him. He is so careful with him. We even have a special home for Optimus so that no one ruins him.
And, although I do not think it was a good choice of how Hayden should of spent his money. It was his money and he did learn a very valuable lesson of hard work and perseverance in order to attain the prize. He is a happy boy and I must say that Mr. Optimus Prime could not have found a home in which he would be more loved. Hayden does love him!
