NorthernToddler has been helping NorthernDaddy with some building tasks this week. First, he helped with the retrieval and hauling of some scrap wood that was pulled from the rafters of the barn and transformed into a nice, solid door for the duck house. Second, he helped measure, hammer, and saw as the dutch door on the other opening of the duck house was reconfigured to meet the needs of the duck keeper (aka NorthernDaddy - he likes his ducks. NorthernMommy can have her chickens, the ducks are more fun!). Toddler also served as an all-around gofer as he brought tools and hardware to Daddy.
At one point, after measuring some lumber, Toddler clipped the tape rule to his jeans because "that's what workers do, and I'm a worker." NorthernDaddy had to agree - Toddler had been working, just like the construction guys he was emulating. Besides, with his tools in place, Toddler looked the part. From this picture, it appears that the Northerns are raising the next Ty Pennington. Doesn't he have the same style and out-there good attitude? NorthernDaddy doesn't think it's too bad to have a little insane carpenter/model/television host running around - as long as he doesn't pick up the drug/alcohol problems that are rumored to affect the real Ty.
Anyway, NorthernDaddy salutes the hard little worker known as 'Toddler' - keep up the good work, buddy!

When I get up there at the end of the month I expect a full tour of the worker's projects - led by the worker himself!
