Building the treehouse roof

Kaia always demands to help dado. Today we built a roof for the treehouse. She learned how to use a circular saw and helped haul lumber to build the roof trusses.
At one point she was ringing a cowbell... I think she was making sure our ear protection was working. She could only find one of her workboots, so she had to improvise.

Ari guy,

You are the happiest child of all time. You currently have a double ear infection and we had no idea anything was wrong because you never cry. You tend to get fussy around nap/bed time, and then go instantly to sleep and life is good again. You are insanely busy. It’s exhausting just watching you walk from one thing to the next. You like to wreck things, climb, bounce, and throw things. You don’t really talk yet, you point constantly (even in your sleep) and you say dadadada and what sounds a lot like hi when you wave. You love food. All food. You’re a great walker and have now made that your main mode of getting around. You are 20 lbs and 30 inches long. So far you’re tracking right along average which would put you well above your miniature siblings. 

We did a where the wild things are birthday. You had a blast. You loved the balloons, cake, and all the family/toys. There was also a musical card you loved. You started dancing every time it opened. The day after your birthday we went to Vegas. You loved all the lights and liked to dance outside the bars on the strip. Needless to say, you were a hit. I adore you little man!
