It appears that Grant has inherited his Dzia Dzia's safety genes! He makes sure that when he is working, he has a pair of goggles on. For Christmas, Santa brought him quite a few Home Depot tools (each one comes with it's own pair of goggles). Grant makes sure that he has a pair of goggles for each tool that he is using (Yes ... he has been known to wear more than one pair of goggles at a time)! He just puts the goggles where ever they will fit!
Dzia Dzia is working on finishing his basement, and he has brought Grant down there to watch and to "work" with him. He has shown Grant how to install outlets, drill holes, hammer nails, use a staple hammer, remove the staples with a screw driver ... the list goes on. Grant has gotten to the point where on Sunday's he has to wear his "work clothes" and take his tools to Dzia Dzia's so that he can "help Dzia Dzia work in the basement". He loves to help in the basement! He has even told anyone who will listen what he does there! For instance, this weekend, he "drilled holes all the way to the bottom and put screws in it!" That's his story and he's sticking to it!
While I'm sure that my dad doesn't get as much work done as he would like when Grant is there, I really think that they have a great time together! I know that Grant treasures that time because he talks about it the whole week after! I hope that Grant retains all of what Dzia Dzia teaches him ... and I hope that Dzia Dzia goes over all the outlets that Grant worked on before closing them up and calling it a day!
