Well, we had a bit of a trying day. The boys had been told not to jump on their beds because one board had already broke. Well, the night before these pics were taken, guess what Bay was doing? Yep, jumping on his bed and lo and behold, like we had stated, the board broke. Daddy thought for his punishment he needed to go get the supplies and help fix it. I thought that was a brilliant idea. So daddy got out the tape measure and had Bay measure a few things and then off they went to OSH. They got home and Bay had to measure the wood and make a mark.Next, daddy showed him how the saw worked and the safety measures behind it. So, they did a trial run. Daddy was telling him it would be loud and to be careful and showed him where to keep his hands and where the emergency shut off button was and Bay lost it. He just started crying and shaking. It was too much for him. I knew it would be hard for him but I did not know it would affect him this much. He was so worried his fingers or hand would get chopped off. Poor guy but Dave was very patient with him and loving and understanding but at the same time very stern letting him know Yes, this was dangerous but he was not going to let Bay get hurt. Bay asked if he did get hurt, what would he do. Dave said he would destroy the saw. Bay was pretty much ready to go after that response. So on went the safety glasses, the tears had started to dry and they were off to cut the first piece. He did great. Daddy kept his hands right ontop of Bay's and Bay did just as he was told. No missing limbs to report. After the saw was off, he was beaming from ear to ear-proud of what he had just accomplished. That was such an amazing transformation. I was so proud of him. To do something he was so afraid of, was pure magic. So proud of that kid. Well, after they cut another piece (for the first board that broke) Bay signed the wood and dated it proud of it. Then he helped daddy drill it back in to the frame of the bed. So proud...
