Key to My Heart

We have a Cranium kids' game called Cariboo that has a little purple key to open the little doors that hide the little balls behind them. That key has been lost for quite awhile now, nowhere to be found. I've been letting Bode use a toothpick in its place (yes, i've been letting my 2-yr old run around with toothpicks...). This morning Bode would have no more of the imposter toothpicks and demanded a key, now, this minute, at 7AM. I was annoyed and was just going to let him work through it. But Doug, on the other hand, went downstairs and MADE the child a new key. With his saw and piece of a leftover 2-by-4. A little wooden key. In a matter of minutes. Happy child. Happy mom. I love that man.
