The Office

Due to the nature of his work, Matt can spend a bit of time working from home every now and then. Seeing Daddy working in the study room, Luke is gradually catching on to the concept of "work", at least to the extent that it involves sitting at a desk and typing on a keyboard.

Below is a picture showing a day when Matt was working from home. In the midst of his deepest thoughts and inspirations came loud screeching and thumping noises that rudely interrupted his solitude. All of a sudden, the study door flinged open with a BAM!, and there came Luke dragging his little desk and chair to set up office right next to dad. After settling the furniture, he dashed back to his room, producing more bangs and clangs as he dug out a broken computer keyboard from his toy box, which we had given to him as a toy some time ago. Getting back at his "desk", he immediately started typing furiously.

Curious upon hearing such extraordinary commontion, I went to the study to beseech its cause. "We are working," Luke announced seriously the moment I peeped my head at the door. I shot a "do you want me to take him out?" look to Matt, and Matt gave me a "we will see what happens" shrug in return. Turned out Luke "worked" cooperatively in the study with daddy for an impressive 45 minutes without being a distraction. Of what he had produced in this disproportionately long period of time (for a toddler), it remains an unspoken mystery.
