Mr. Fixit

Fixing the car

After Alex played with Ezra and Eli's toolset for a good deal of time on Saturday, and enjoyed it so much, we decided that perhaps we should get a set for him. David gave it to him the other night and he was quite happy to play with his very own set.

He set off fixing his cars and assorted other items around the house right away. It came in a box very similar to David's bike tool kit, and at the end of the night when we asked him to put the tools away, he proceeded to put them in the box and then bring the box to the back room, where David's tools are. He placed it right next to David's set, designating it as the place for his tools too. It was too cute!

Little Helper

Alex is my little helper in all endeavors. Yesterday I wanted to work on the yard, which was in desperate need of some tender loving care. I planted some veggie seeds in the garden, so hopefully those will start sprouting soon and we will have some veggies again this summer. I also wanted get some raking done, so I decided to buy Alex a little rake while we were out and about. He enjoyed it, although he still seems to prefer to try to help me with mine. Regardless, he is cute and is always a good helper. Hopefully this continues well into his teenage years....a mom can dream, can't she?
