The Little Carpenter


This weekend, Franco and I put together a larger bookshelf for Jacob and Grace. (Is it normal for 2 four year olds to have 738 books? ahhhh, garage sales!!!) When we announced the activity of the day would include putting together this shelf, Jacob immediately -- and emphatically -- told us to "wait!" We drug the heavy box to the kids' room. Shortly thereafter, Jacob emerged with his tools . . . a tool carrier in which he had put his hammer, saw, pliers, screw driver, and an assortment of other items that he may need!

It was adorable!

Jacob was involved in hammering nails, hammering in "plugs", inserting screws -- the whole process. And he is so very precise! I see an engineering career in his future . . . He was so proud of his creation!

What a fun day!
