Work Ethic

Tyler has always had a sense to finish what he completes from an early age. He still also gets upset if he doesn't do things the right way the first time. He is slowly learning that it is ok to make mistakes and we just need to keep practicing. When it snowed last week, the wind pushed the fence in our back yard over. About 24 feet of fence was gone in a couple seconds. Justin has been working hard getting out the old posts (with some help from our friends) so we could put up the fence again. Yesterday we were cementing the new posts in and then Tyler helped Justin fill in the rest of the holes with dirt. At one point Justin told Tyler that was enough for the day. Tyler's answer was "but the holes aren't filled yet." Justin then asked him "you aren't going to stop now til its done are you?" Tyler's answer "nope.". So they both stayed out there until both holes were completely filled. Hopefully this work ethic will continue on to his school work in a few years.
