Elia's doghouse project

Tonight, after eating dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house, Elia decided he wanted to build a doghouse for them. He really, really wants a dog, so he thought that if THEY got one, he would not have to clean up dog poop! Pretty clever :-))
He found lots of scrap wood in their backyard, as they are in the process of building a garden shed, and Grandpa supplied the screws and the cordless drill! My little boy was in heaven!!!
Soon the project turned into a family affair, with all the siblings giving suggestions and wanting a turn with the power tool. It was so sweet all of them working together.
Elia had very clear ideas on how it needed to be built, and not even Daddy was able to sway him. He got it about half way done, and while it will have to be a very little dog, I'm impressed with his ability to think about a project, and then work on it.
I'm sure he will want to go finish it later this week!
