Daddy here:
Every first Saturday of the month I get the pleasure of taking Maddie to Home Depot for their “Kids Workshop”. Maddie gets to dress up in a cute little Home Depot apron & we get to make a fun little toy or trinket. At the end they give her a pin & a certificate. As of today, she now has 10 pins!! How fun! Anyway, Maddie still isn’t that coordinated, so I typically help her hammer & glue everything. Today though I left a lot of the hammering up to her —- unfortunately though, because of the rain outside, we were inside, right next to the swings. She has a strange obsession with the swings, so she kept getting distracted there. See this video I took after Maddie had already hit my hand a good five billion times (or at least five times) – this time she missed!
For any dads out there, I highly recommend going to your local Home Depot – I am pretty sure they all do it – it’s free & a lot of fun. Maddie actually is starting to get to know the ladies that run it & giving them hugs.
What a great time for you two! Maddie will remember those times forever and be so grateful she learned to hammer Daddy’s fingers.
