Yesterday, Cole helped put a new battery in the car.  Rick showed him the battery and all it’s parts, explained to him what it does, and then told him what they needed to do to change it.  Cole was very proud and kept calling himself the ‘big helper’.  He said Franny could be the ‘little helper’, which she wasn’t very pleased with (even though she didn’t want to help, anyway).  There was some trouble getting the battery out, but Cole never lost interest and even went to get his own tools in case they were more suited for the job.   In the end, it all worked out and Cole got to tighten up the final bolt.  I think it was the highlight of his day!
