my New Year's resolution is to sell more coffee and buy this: www.hebrewsjava.com

My 9 year old, Trenton, is one of the most creative kids in the world. The other day he found some wheels off of an old toy grocery cart, and he was set to build a dolly. He visited the garage and found a small piece of plywood, and was ready to build.

So we went to Home Depot to find some nuts to use, but found out that one of his wheels had the threads stripped. So we ended up buying some new wheels, and I couldn’t leave out my 7 year old. So we purchased 2 sets of wheels.

Within minutes of getting home both boys were off to the garage to build their dollies. I helped drill some starter holes so they could screw in the wheels. 15 minutes later the project was done. I never imagined that such a small project could bring so much joy for a kid. They carted things around all day long.

We may never know what impact these little projects have on our children. The fact is that us dad’s need to take the time for our kids, even though it may seem small to us. I have to remind myself of that thought each and every day. So next week I’m sure there will be a new and exciting project, but I’ll do my best to help out however I can.

Proud Dad,
Brandon Gott
