Learning about an oil change

Stuart was doing an oil change on his truck this morning and asked Nicholas to be his little helper. Stuart gave Nicholas some gloves and a creeper. He did a great job of explaining the steps needed to complete an oil change as well as how to take care of your tools and how to keep as clean as possible.







I've always been so proud of Stuart for being so self-sufficient. He could easily go down the street and have someone else do the work on the truck for him. However, he enjoys doing these things himself and he takes pride in knowing that they have been done correctly. I'm also proud of Stuart for taking the time to include Nicholas in this task even though it makes the task take twice as long. It helps Nicholas learn how a vehicle works, how to properly maintain it, and the value in doing these things for himself.
