Elijah the Builder-Can He Fix It?



My oldest son is so wonderful. Already at a young age he gets so excited about working with dad. Particularly if something is being built. A few days ago, Amalao (our day guardian) and I were working to get the kids swings set into cement and Elijah just had to help. So he got out the small folding shovel from the car and went to work putting the wet cement into the holes. He takes it so seriously and part of me has to chuckle remembering that in a few more years he may not be so eager to get in there and do the hard work. Ah well, I'll enjoy it while it last and perhaps some good habits are being laid down for the future.

:) He is a sweet boy. Andrew, at 8, still loves to help with projects...so maybe it will last a few years with Elijah too!
