Jonah wants to be JUST like his Daddy. He especially loves working outside with him. When Mike mows the lawn, which takes 2 to 3 hours, Jonah follows behind with his toy lawnmower the entire time! When Mike spread bark and weeded for a week after Jack's birth, Jonah was right there with his shovel and the little rake.
The last project that they worked on was rebuilding the front steps of the house. Jonah loved being the assistant and got Mike anything he needed. He also helped hammer and he practiced drilling (with a real electric drill- Yikes!) on the old wood. Last week Paige, Jack and I were at Vacation Bible School in the evenings at our church and while we were there, Mike and Jonah finished the steps project. On Thursday night at about 6:45 Mike saw Jonah with his head down on a step. He said, "Hey, Jonah!" Jonah didn't answer. He had fallen asleep right there even with Mike hammering and drilling away! So, Mike continued working for 20 minutes or so to finish up his project and then picked Jonah up to get him ready for bed. Jonah woke up briefly to say that they needed to work, but Mike said they were already done and Jonah went right back to sleep. Mike realized that he should have taken a picture of this. Just imagine Jonah on the front steps with his head down, tools scattered about and Daddy hammering away. Cute.

Haha. I had just written to Mike in an email that Jonah looked just like Mike and was a "mini-Mike". Great story.
