Little carpenter

Tonight Justin pulled a chair up to the counter, grabbed my mixer and started rubbing it on the countertop. I asked him what he was doing, and he said, "nice, nice!" He was sanding the countertop!
Translation: Tom just sanded and stained the wooden toychest from our living room. Justin has seen him sanding stuff in our basement. (Tom has recently refinished a cabinet, a child's wooden rocking chair, a small bookshelf, and he's working on a phone-stand-type table now) Tonight when Tom brought up the toychest Justin watched us touch the now smooth surface and say, nice! So he was just imitating his father.

That's one thing I miss about having young children around, they are so cute when they imitate us. It's amazing how they learn so quickly and understand what they are saying.
