Last week, Kaelan and Daddy decided it was time to freshen up the fence and playscape with at new dose of wood stain. Kaelan was determined to help and was always right on Daddy's heels with a tool of some sort in hand. When it came time for the actual staining, I could see the apprehension in dad's face when Kaelan whipped out a paintbrush and looked up with anticipation. Dad called to the house and asked me to bring out a bucket of warm water.
"Why do you need this water?",I asked as I carried the bucket out onto the patio.
"Kaelan is ready to help me stain", he said as he approached me with his back blocking her view.
Before I could get my "Oh,I don't think that is a good idea..." out of my mouth, he stopped me with a shushing glance.
"Let me just get her a bucket and brush of her own ready so she can get going."
With his body still blocking her view, he reached up to take the warm water and winked at me as he secretly dropped in a handful of dirt and red clay. He quickly gave the water a stir with the brush, and Walla......little handy girl "stain".
I smiled as the two set off to work....dad staining, and Kaelan following along with her watery mix....believing she too, was staining.
Oh, how I love that man of mine.
