A Boy and His Tools

Peter continues to expand his vocabulary with "down," "done," "mine," "mama," "dada," "hi," and "woof-woof" all being regular conversational items. :o) However, right now, without a doubt, his favorite activity is using his tools, with the drill being high on the preference list. :o) (For those who are concerned, it's a very tired battery, and he only has a screw bit--no drill bits!) Chris has given him some screws and styrofoam to screw into. Self-entertainment--it's great! :o)
As is his personality, he is very serious about using his tools. Everything must be properly gathered and set up before launching into action. (And on an amusing note, notice his footwear in these pictures!)
"Mommy, I'm busy. Are pictures really necessary?"
Anything with a screw is a candidate for "fixing." And we are working very hard to enforce the policy of "no tools in the house." Tools stay in the basement, on the porch, or outside. We're wondering how long it's going to be before we're repairing a window or walls from the well-intentioned, but misguided efforts of our young man's hammer!
Somehow I suspect that he'll be changing tires before he's ten!
He'll do his daddy, grandpas, and great-grandpas proud! :o)

Peter, your Grandpa M. thinks he may have a mechanic's job for you one day. You look like you'll be really good and dedicated. :-)

By the way, Peter. No more heels for you. They don't go well with a tool belt.

Oh, he and David would get along so well (as long as they each had their own tools so nobody had to share)!!!

Love those steel-toed shoes, they're the classiest ones I've seen yet! :)
