To sum up Aaden in a few words, he's creative, imaginative and very literal. He's got a scientific mind like his dad. We know he will likely be some sort of engineer. He prefers watching documentaries on cars, the world, space and machines to children's programming. One of his recent favorites is an old Discovery Channel show called Build it Bigger. There are a few episodes on Netflix right now and he watches them frequently. His favorite being the one about the Malaysia SMART tunnel that was built to channel flood waters away from the city of Kuala Lumpur and carry cars. The episode is all about the drilling (use of the tunnel boring machine) and constructing of the tunnel 10-12 years ago. Check out a quick video to see what's up:

He's mesmerized and took it to a whole new level yesterday, constructing the TBM and tunnel out of Lego.
I had to document & video this as Lego modifications happen rapidly around here:
Tunnel complete with dinosaur bones and varying rock formations to be blasted out
Roadway & city above the tunnel
The back-end of the machine
The other side
The boring machine pushing through the rock face (the rocks hinge open and closed)
Inside the machine, miners have dynamite, conveyor belt to get rocks out, steering wheel & coffee!
