Cute things babies do! An observation on how much we influence our children

My man candy is a very handy man around the home and at work. He works as lead laborer and a brick mason for a good sized brick laying comstruction company. Now that you have the back story a bit you can imagine how much our one year old son sees daddy fixing things around the house. At 8 months old he was reaching for a toy screw driver at Wal-Mart and always wanted daddies tools.
 Last month daddy was fixing the breaks, replacing them actually, and we were all in the garage keeping him company. Our son now one and a half grabbed the screw driver and got right in there. Grabbed the break pads and set them right on the wheel, and even tried to help unscrew the bolts. This has happened on different occasions of the same type.
 Then we bought him his own set of plastic power tools. Now he fixes everything he comes Into contact with.
 Keep this story in mind when you decide to do something questionable around your children. No matter what age. The older they are, the longer it has to set in. My son is 18 months and we are already at the point of an almost obsession.
 We smoke but not in front of our son any longer. We used to take him outside with us but mow we are more secretive after he showed interest in smoking and cigarettes being held in mouths.
 My mom smoked my entire life and I started sneaking around and smoking at 13 mostly because it was acceptable for her to do it.
 These things can be good or bad. My son being handy will be a great life skill but anything can be learned whether it be smoking, swearing, reading, learning, treating others nicely, really anything.
 Please don't ever think they are too young to notice because that's never true and they are always looking and watching and learning. Comment with your experiences! I would love to hear them.
