Our Fix-it Man

One of Jack's favourite games is to pretend that he is the maintenance man at college, Reg. We are very blessed to get to call on Reg to help us out. I have this suspicion that our family may call on him more than others due to our incompetency in home repairs! But nonetheless, we have developed a great relationship with him and he has easily become one of Jack's heroes.

So Jack loves to pretend he is Reg. Tonight he came into the kitchen with his toolbox as I was cleaning up and asked what was broken. I told him that the toilet was broken (in hindsight probably not the smartest thing on my part, but a 3 year-old loved the idea). He asked what had happened to it. I told him that my 3 year-old son had tried to use the potty and had fallen off and broken it. He said he would go off and fix it. He came back about 10 minutes later and told me that it was fixed and that he wanted to show it to me.

Here is the picture of what I saw:

And here is a video of 'Reg' explaining to Charles what he did to fix the toilet:


Unfortunately, it looks like Jack may have inherited his parent's ability to fix things! Oh, and just so you know we washed our hands and the tools afterwards!
