Monica had been right in assuming that helping to look after Winston's eggs would prove a good distraction for the children. They were very excited about the prospect of baby dragons, and thought the babies would like some toys after they hatched. So when the children asked their Dad if they could make some toys, he was only too happy to supervise them in the castle wood shop. Paige and Nami both decided to make dragon pull toys... Ringo decided he wanted to make some blocks, and started sawing... David was still checking out the wood to find the perfect pieces for the project he had in mind.... Lawrence liked to take a hands off approach, letting his children make what they wanted. They had learned to use tools from a young age, but still needed some supervising to make sure they worked safely. And he was there to offer advice if asked. It was hard work sawing the blocks...but Ringo was determined to do it all by himself.... Nami was trying to decide where to glue the wings on her dragon... While Ringo kept sawing... ...and sawing... "Dad??" "Do you think this would be the right place to attach the wings?" "Yes, that would be perfect."

Well, the kids are never going to learn anything if he does it for them.

It's really nice that Lawrence makes time to spend with his children.

Yes, Lawrence may have an important job, but he's his own boss, and for the most part he 'works from home', so he has the opportunity to make time for his kids.

They have to be. If they want something, they can't just go buy it, so they have to make it. Comments are closed.
