Most of my blog stalkers know that Carter came to work with me for the first year of his life. On occasion he still wants to go to work with me. We made a deal that after swimming lessons (10:30) he could come back to work with me for awhile, then we'd go to lunch, and then I would take him back to Miss Stacie's for a nap and the rest of the afternoon. His part of the deal was doing all the chores on my list. On Tuesday morning when I woke Carter up I told him he needed to get up, get dressed, and get some breakfast because it was a work day. Usually I am met with some form of:
in a minute
not now
when I'm ready
don't tell me my business
But, to my surprise he jumped up and did everything I asked. Swimming was canceled so we just went back to the lumberyard and he went to work.
He has a little tool belt stashed in a bucket with a little hammer, tape measure, nails and such that he puts on as soon as he gets there, even if we're only stopping for a minute.
One of his chores was to sweep out the shop. Not too bad for a 4 year old.
I had some Brabeck Construction shirts made for the office staff and the boys. I don't think there is better advertising than my totally adorable little men wearing Brabeck Construction shirts and they love to wear them. After work we went to Pizza Hut and chowed down, then back to daycare so I could go back to work.
