Childish wonderment.

Yesterday, my daughter and he husband and children, came down to do some shopping. The baby was asleep, so we didn't get to have time with her this time, but the boys decided to stay here and kick a ball around.
Riley, who is four, saw the cupboard Neville is making for my new cook top, and was very interested to know all about it. When he was told his Pop was making it, he got very excited and called to his brother, "Hey, Lach'an, come and look at this. Pop is making a cupboard! Hey, Lach'an, come and see this!" ( Riley can't say, Lachlan.)
The incredulity of the child, that his Pop could do something so wonderful, and clever, was a joy to behold. He couldn't get over it. Said cupboard is coming on a treat, and should soon be finished and in place. It will be a while before the wall oven cupboard is done, and they can be connected and I can get cooking once again.
The boys kicked the ball for a short time, then Lachlan asked if he could play a game on the computer. He played a couple of games of Go Fish, then Riley had a game. They seemed to really enjoy themselves, although they were only here for about an hour.
