Did you ever read the Little Golden Book, We Help Daddy, when you were a kid? I still remember it. A little boy and girl help their daddy do all kinds of things around the house one Saturday. I don't think they print it anymore because I if I remember correctly, the mommy was inside cooking and cleaning, the daddy smoked a pipe while he washed the dog, and the little boy and girl definitely did traditionally gender specific tasks. None-the-less, I still love the book. The other night CJ and I had a "we help daddy" night.
Shhh! Don't tell CJ, but his granddad got him a big boy bed for Christmas! We found a great bunk bed at an all wood furniture store. It is perfect for two boys because it can be a bunk or two twins. And it is perfect for a military family because it is all wood. We learned that anything else will be destroyed in 1-2 PCS moves. The only drawback...work for daddy. He already has it primed and has one good day of work left to finish painting it. We helped daddy one night while he was working on it...
And all was going well until CJ needed to dip his brush into the paint can just like daddy...
He didn't like that it made a mess...
All was well though. Mommy saved the day with some wet wipes and we were quickly back to "helping" daddy with his painting project.
