the tool man

This morning a Bobcat was working around the house and Dennis happily watched from the window. And this afternoon, after his nap, he found and used a whole bunch of tools at the lake house. He saw the ladder set up on the porch and said "I would like to climb that ladder but it's dangerous", and we all agreed. He waited 10 minutes before he climbed it, clad only in his t-shirt and Buzz Lightyear underwear, announcing he was too busy for pants. He had lots of important work to do. He was very well behaved today except for a couple of incidents of trying to hammer a screw into a freshly painted wall, and we enjoyed his company. We certainly enjoyed his cupcakes again!

Last night, he got out of bed and came to our room, telling us that he needed his Daddy to come snuggle with him. I waited nearly an hour before going in to wake David up to see if he wanted to come back to our bed!

This has been a challenge--lately I'm blogging on my iPhone, and that means typing with one finger on a touch screen (luckily it auto corrects most of my mistakes). Today I spent several hours spray-painting, so my right index fingertip is numb. This is my blogging finger as well, so kudos to me for typing this much!
