We've had a few cool evenings lately, so Grandpa Jack has taken advantage of our wood-burning fireplace. Our fireplace is sort of like watching the grandkids in that he gets to relive some of the fun that he had with the wood stoves at their old house, but he doesn't have the ongoing responsibility of keeping the fire going day in and day out. We all enjoy the fires too, so it's fun for everyone.
Noah in particular is enjoying the fires. He also likes to help Grandpa build them. He balls up newspaper and tries to throw it in to the fireplace. He really enjoys the process. He and Grandpa had the fire prepared during the day, but they didn't light it until the evening. He kept saying, "We build fire? We build fire?" He was ready to see it go.
Obviously at 2 Noah is not quite ready to handle fire. However, it's good to see that he has a boy's interest in it. This is something being passed down from grandfathers on both sides as well as his dad. We've got to keep this going.
