The Builder

In an effort to train this young man in the ways of men (can i get a grunt from the guys out there), I've been teaching the Little Guy how to use tools and other manly objects. He now knows the difference between a nail, bolt, screw and tack. He's mastered the art of swinging the hammer. I even threw in a few power tools: the drill and a jigsaw.

He's really loving it. So much in fact that for the last four weeks he waits for me at the door when I come home and yells "Papa! Can we play with wood today?". Well buddy, that's a discussion we'll save for a later date but we can work on the birdhouse.

Viola!

Wow . . . where to start with that? Perhaps we should just pretend you didn't go there. Anyway, teaching boys to be men is a lost art. What a gift you're giving to your grandson!

Hey now, us women can build stuff too. It's not just men who go around grunting cause they built something. Give us some credit too. :) B
