Our last day in Florida, Keith told Oliver that they would make a water fountain out of Oliver's shells. He has asked to built a fountain every day since.
Oliver "Can we build a fountain today"
Keith "I need to buy supplies"
Oliver "I have supplies. I have screws and nails and a hammer"
Keith "We have to go to the store for supplies"
Oliver "Can we go now"
Keith "No, maybe tomorrow"
Oliver "Oh, Ok"
This is the daily conversation that occurred.
Last week, Keith researched fountains online and found one at Target that he could take apart and use for a shell fountain. On Friday, Keith picked up the fountain and Friday night they worked on the project. We had told Oliver that they were going to build the fountain but by the time we got to it, it was getting late. Late or not, Oliver's mind is sharp and his memory is long. He doesn't forget much and he reminded us that he and Daddy were going to build a fountain. So, they built a fountain.
Since the project was quite intricate and included drilling holes in shells, Oliver's key job was supervisor. He eventually got to help drilling but I missed it.
Is he tired or bored.
I'm betting he is tired AND bored.
Who is having more fun, Keith or Oliver?
That night, they had to leave it to let the glue dry. In the morning, they filled it up with water and tested it out.

Our plan was to put it in his room. We decided that it was probably a better idea to leave it on the kitchen counter.
Looks good guys!
