Dynamic Duo

We recently moved Scott to a twin bed.  He came up with the idea that his new bed needed a step stool by it so he could get in and out easier.  He decided that he and Daddy would build one.  Once he got this idea in his head, it was not a matter of if, but when.  He talked about this project for days.  They drew up some plans and finally were ready to begin.

 After a much anticipated trip to the hardware store in Daddy's blue truck, the guys set out to work. 

That power saw was sure noisy!

 Sanding and assembly...

 Ta-da! 

Time for the paint.  Scott couldn't wait for this part!  He chose "Thomas the Train Blue" to match his bedding, of course.

  

The step stool has been a hit.  Not only has Scott enjoyed using it to crawl into and out of his big bed, but the kids have also been using it as a stage in the living room to put on daily shows.  These "shows" get rather lengthy at times for this audience member.  I convinced the kids that I could still effectively listen/watch from the reclined position.  :)
