And it's really the Daddy connection that interests him.<br /><br />Sherry: Yup, fifth birthday coming up in two and a half weeks.<br /><br />Anon.: He has some work gloves, but Daddy doesn't wear work gloves when he fills the wood carrier, so . . . see above.<br /><br />Sheila: Let's see how long it takes him to figure that one out. But it's not as if he has a lack of energy that forces him to seek the most efficient way to do things.
