Today was room and board day in the Fredericks' residence. After a trip to Lowe's, the boys installed a lock for the sliding glass door to keep Jack from wandering out on his own. I am sure if he knew we were locking him in he would never have helped! But he was mezmerized by the drill, screwdriver, etc. Rob was very patient about showing him how everything worked. Honestly, it was one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. And the bonus is that it works! No more 6:30 AM playing in the backyard with the loud popping lawnmower. I'm sure the neighbors will be grateful.
Jack also wanted to help with the recycling. I don't know how that little boy managed to carry a bin as big as himself. After about 5 feet he asked, "Mommy help?" He did manage to carry an empty box to the recycle bin. At least it's a step in the right direction.
I'm going to enjoy his helpful spirit while it lasts, I won't expect this much cooperation when he's a teenager. But it is Mother's Day weekend.
