**k-9max** · 07-24-07, 05:06 AM

Now this is what i call back up.
My son wanted to help me Stain the deck over the weekend to help suprise the wifey before she got home from work.
She has been wanting me to do this for about, oh, a year or so...

My 4 yo son helped, by painting under the steps, were i couldnt get to.
Thanks Buddy!

That's why we have kids!

I've got a chimney that needs sweeping, send him over.

**k-9max** · 07-24-07, 05:47 AM

Im sure he wouldnt mind, always wanting to please!

**BEB** · 07-24-07, 06:04 AM

Very cool. Kids are nifty at that age, then later they become teenagers...enjoy it now!

Nice work!

What is amazing to me is that it looks great and he's not covered in paint himself! Amazing!

If it were my 4 year old, he'd have more paint on him than on the wood... (not to mention that he'd probably have drawn a smiley face on the concrete under him).

You have every right to be proud of that little guy!!

Hes a natural,

He did get a little paint on the cement, and flipped out.
he thought he was in trouble, and almost started crying.
I had to drop a little on the cement to show him it was ok.
"but dad, you said only on the wood".
hes awesome, if i could arrange it, i would have 2 or 3 more of him.
but ive been neutered.

Good job! BTW... if you did have other ones... they would be the ones pouring the can of paint on each other...

That is such a great thing to do!

Thanks for sharing the pic! Think he can paint a kitchen? I'll pay him.

He looks so serious and in deep concentration. Cute as all get out!

It's good you didn't wait any longer to stain the deck--a few more years and he might have gotten too big to get to those spots, and then you would have had to wait till you got a grandchild small enough to reach those spots!

Right,

i forgot to add that my 3 yo daughter found the paint can, and decided to help dad paint without me knowing it.
i forgot i left the can with the lid just laying ontop of the can by the garage.
shhhh, mom still doesnt know about that yet!

we had fun at bathtime though,
what an experience, lol

This says so much about you, Dad!

BTW, any idea when he might be able to cut the grass (I have a hill that desperately needs mowing)?

**lynnz05** · 07-24-07, 04:22 PM

Cute!

**lewisipso** · 07-25-07, 04:43 AM

Mine would have stuck his head in the bucket and painted that way.
