Dad's Helper

[HisTreeNut]

Had a little "help" splitting some residual wood the other day.
The little tyke wanted to use a "hammer" like Dad. Got him a hammer, some bark, and log to split on. Has good form for a little guy...

My only question is do they make Mickey Mouse work gloves in my size?

How many cords did he get through?

Awesome....building memories

Too cute! Now you need to get him a pair of steel tip boots!

I will have to check the forum for the exact measurement, but as opposed to a full cord or face cord, I believe it was one cute "kid cord."

steel toe boots and some safety glasses. Preach safety when they're young!
Nice to see you getting some help though!!

Way to go. I have trusted my 6 year old with a hatchet and attempting to split things. He does all right. Usually a stuck hatchet and he's on the swing set.

That is how you make future wood cutters and wood burners. I have great memories of time spent with my father doing that. My little girl loves helping me swing the hatchet giggles the whole time. Stuff you never forget, awesome times enjoy!

Cute.
My question is... Why do YOU use a HAMMER to split your firewood??

Sounds about right!

If they see you wearing PPE they will want to wear it too just to be like Daddy! Don't even have to tell them it's for safety!

Awesome pic. I loving having a 3.5yr old boy. He's a handful, but he is ALL boy! Just like I was.

 

[HisTreeNut]

Yeah..he is all boy and fearless...only child we have had to truly parent all the time because he is fearless.
Cute as a button. That being said & wouldn't trade him for all the wood in the world.

so true. my son won't go anywhere near a tool without his helmet and ear protection. The other day he put his hat on to color on his easel because he said he was doing a "project". He also won't let me pick up the chainsaw without my "chainsaw pants" on.

The cutest thing is a 2yr old trying to get eye protection to stay on! Their head is too small and so is their nose doesn't stick out far enough either!

Always nice to have help.

My 3 yr old boy loves helping daddy. I can't leave the house without my half sized shadow. Always wanted to help me load the boiler with "sticks". I love him to death and wouldn't trade him for the world.

He got a good looking move. In line straight overhead. He going to hit what he's aiming at. I think he's been watching you.

He watches his Dad...sometimes too much.
He likes to get sticks too for me when I build a fire. He gets stuff out my drawer when I get ready for work like my "odorant" & "face wotion." My little helper & my little shadow. Love the little guy.
