Quite naturally, Cole is fascinated by the huge stack of hardwoods that currently dominates our family room.  He has also been very impressed with Nate, our contractor.  Since he started working on the floors, Cole has been toting around his two hammers, which he says are just like Nate’s.  Yesterday, he spent nearly an hour going around the newly exposed floor and hammering all the nails he saw, and the hammers have been the new toy that he takes everywhere. As for the wood, he has taken the loose pieces and laid them down on the floor and ‘nailed’ them together.  It also has been deemed a truck, and the loose pieces are regularly taken off or unloaded and then, loaded back on the truck.  Cole is very intent and focused on his processes, which makes it all the more amusing.  We try hard to not put the kids into stereo-typical molds, but there is definitely something about boys and tools and trucks, and they all fit Cole to a tee.
