Daddy's Little Helper

Well, I don’t know how helpful a two year old can be, but Canaan sure enjoyed his “job” of being Daddy’s helper as he re-assembled his little table. Canaan was right in the middle of things from the beginning, digging through the wooden pegs and screws, collapsing the chairs as Daddy was fitting them together to screw together, and standing in the middle of the table as it lie upside-down on the floor, waiting for the legs to be screwed on!
As you can see in the picture, he did give Daddy some screws, sometimes as needed. He got out the hammer and hammered next to Daddy as he was screwing. We did find one job that was perfect for him: dropping the screws in the holes for Daddy. He put them right side up and everything- the perfect job! And in the end, Canaan and Daddy enjoyed using the table by coloring together on it. Canaan has really gotten into coloring more these days. He still doesn’t understand anything about staying in the lines; however, he used to only draw vertical and horizontal lines, but now he draws circles and will sometimes do some concentrated scribbling. Mommy is very proud!
We can’t believe we will have a two year old soon! Time flies, but we have really tried to enjoy every moment God has given us so far with Canaan, and pray for many more years with him. What wonderful gifts God gives us in children!

Oh to have a boy. I was reading this thinking poor Guy will have to do his construction work with one of our two girls! :-) The other day he asked if it was ok if he taught Aspen one day how to fix things and work on cars. I said, "YES...please" I would feel better if I knew she could take care of herself. Miss you and wish we could be at your b-day party for Canaan! He is a cutie!!! Love you, Nan
