diy boy

Timothy loves to help with work around the house. He helped Paul hook up the washer last night by insisting on 'using' the wrench to tighten the hoses. He 'helped' me unscrew face plates from the outlets on the wall we painted. He 'sweeps' the floor. It takes twice as long to do anything, but it's wonderful to watch him do it.

of all his diy skills, he's best at painting.

Even though I have totally neglected his blog, you have to trust that the same is not true for Timothy. He continues to be the center of my existence and a constant source of joy.

asleep on his mattress beside our bed on the first night. we're still getting his room sorted.

his serious look (and his seriously dirty look)

enjoying yogurt on the deck

watching winnie the pooh in his camp chair while we work

amidst his toys

he climbed even higher all by himself. getting down is another story

he loves his bath, and by the end of the day he's so covered in dirt that he needs it
