learning early

[danieledwards12]

i live two hours from my family. im a big time family guy so it kills me not to get to be with my family. i go home allot on the weekends. i always take my detailing bag with me when i go home and i detail my mom, dad, and sisters vehicles while im their. i have a 3 year old nephew who stays outside with me while i am doing the vehicles. he gets one of my MF towels and says "i want to help Dan-Dan". thats what he calls me. then he will take his towel and "help" me. he wants to do everything i do, and i am not going to stop him from "helping" me because mabe one day he will remember helping his uncle dan detail and he will have that same passion with his own truck. i have 3 passions in my life and if i can teach him about those three things i will be happy. those passions are Jesus, duck hunting, and detailing. but of those three things if he has a passion to live for Jesus Christ then that is the most important thing in the world.

sorry to take up your time with this, it was just on my mind this evening and i wanted to share..

Not taking up nobody's time great post and enjoy that time with your family, my 4yr old daughter helps me clean my cars and its our special bonding time. I would have to agree with your passions as they are mine as well plus football :xyxthumbs:

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

My son is almost 3, 27 September, he LOVES helping me detail the cars & trucks. He refers to everything as a "race car".

My son liked to help me detail until he was about 13.

My 3 year old daughter helps scrub my wheels with a paintbrush while I wash the rest of the truck :)

My 5&9 year old sons both help me. One is really good at statement cleaning the mats, and the other loves cleaning the wheels. They've even both used my polishers on occasion ( on mama's car!).

Enjoy the time with them, they grow up fast.

When i first got my Detailing gig, my Dad had me working 40 hours a week plus Saturday's.

He paid me $150, I learned that he did that to make me dislike it lol
