Little Quirks

Cam put a new door on our pantry Saturday. He had to use a power drill (to screw things in) and a hand screwdriver. We kept Dallas in his booster seat the entire time to keep him out of the way and out of mischief while I held the door as Cam screwed it in. This also gave him a perfect view of what Cam and I were doing.

When we were finished, Cam removed the removable head from the screw driver and got Dallas out of his seat. Dallas immediately picked up the screwdriver and started "fixing" anything he could see... the bar stools, the door handle... Interestingly enough he would only put the headless screwdriver in places that had a screw, apparently he knows what a screwdriver is for.

There are four total screws that hold the plastic cover on the back of those stools and, although you can't see it, he had the screwdriver covering one of them.

Dallas also has an affinity towards tape, stickers, and bandaids. If one of us leave our bathroom door open, many times he will come out with bandaids and ask for helping opening them and putting them on. He will take them off and put them off many times; his arm, the wall, and apparently his mouth...

When he came to me with this on his mouth it was actually holding his mouth shut, he thought it was the funniest thing ever.
