Mark's Little Helper

While Mark was home this past weekend, he got started on a new project at our house. We are forever needing more storage space and decided to build shelves in our outdoor shed. On this particular day, Daxton had come over to play with the kids but quickly disappeared to the back yard when he discovered that Mark was home and outside working. Before Mark could bat an eyelash, Dax had picked up the power drill and while informing Mark that he already knew how to work it, he proceeded to power-screw nails into the shelves. Mark thought this was hilarious and didn't mind that nails were being screwed into the shelves EVERYWHERE. I of course was a little concerned for his safety - Afterall, Dax is only 5-years old and operating a power tool! I hovered over him for a bit but soon relaxed when I realized that he had obviously had some experience with it and had helped his Dad with projects before. Dax never ceases to amaze me.....I love this little guy!

We know that every time we go out to the storage shed in the future and see all the "polka dots" decorating the shelves, we will probably smile and maybe giggle a little recalling this funny memory.
