This weekend we kept the grandsons. It was their first trip to our house since the holidays. During that time the garage was so full of decoration boxes, etc. that the cars stayed outside. Today I opened the garage door as we loaded the truck to take the boys back. Addison was standing by me in the garage with his hands in his pocket. He surveying the room with a sweeping motion and bobed his head to the positive as he said, "PaPa yous did a good job cleaning the garage."
Carol told me that Saturday morning he helped her sweep the back porch and said he can handle a broom as good as an adult.
Nate brought them that morning and got up on the roof and helped us replace a shingle that had worked loose. The rest of the weekend, Addison wanted to play roof repair. When we went to the playground he insisted that he bring his toy hammer so that he could climb the slide stair to fix the platform (his roof). By the time he is ten I predict he will build a tree house or something.
He has an eye for how things are made.
We let the boys buy a toy at Wally-World. Avery bought a monster truck, Addison wanted a Caterpillar Bulldozer.
That's him climbing!
