Today we glued the capstones on the garden wall. The boys wanted to help. Wg3's hands are just too little for the caulk gun and though we tried our best he soon went on to other pursuits. Then there were two, dg5 and I. Dg5 got better as we went and before long the task was complete.
It's funny how working together fosters close feelings between people. When we were nearly done dg5 said, "I don't know if I should say it or do it." Sweat dripped in my eyes. "Just do it buddy, c'mon." He then pointed to me and crossed his arms over his chest. He tells me this means 'I love you' in sign language.
I don't think he ever expresses the sentiment so earnestly as when we're working side by side.
