He wasn't pleased to loose a perfectly good drill but at least he didn't yell at me because I was trying to learn afterall!! So be sure you also teach the kids not to take apart stuff that works!!!

I'm not a parent or husband, but I can relate to your son's desire to take things apart :). I remember years ago taking apart toy cars, and watches, and eventually computers. Unfortunately, in the last few years -- I'm a college student in my 20's -- I've lost a bit of that childlike enchantment with building and breaking and re-building things. I'm sure that if I make the effort I'll be able to do these things again, or even better, to pass a desire to understand how the world works to young children I might happen on in life. God bless you and your family. Peace. I happened to get to this site through Mom’s View through my efforts to find coupons for a car rental.

Precious memories... he was always soooooooo curious about everything!! I'll never forget those times, be glad you're spending those wonderful moments with your child. He passed away last May after a brief illness,an otherwise healthy young man (our fifth child was born two weeks after he died). He would be 11yrs old now. We started taking things apart when he was just over a yr old! Vacuums, VCR, toasters, computers, radios, clocks, phones, etc. Peace and blessings for many more advevtures...Katherine Hey, reminds me of many hours spent with my oldest son!
