My husband and I are quite hands on when it comes to decorating our home and it’s certainly rubbing off on my son. He loves to pretend that he is drilling holes or putting together furniture just like his dad! For EID (our Muslim religious holiday – which partly involves the giving of gifts ) we bought him a cute little Bosche toolset from eBay, and for weeks he just went around the house sticking plastic screws and nails into anything that resembled a hole! It was so cute to watch! With his matching builders hat and belt he really looked the part!
