I recognize that tool station. Ethan's father sent him that for Christmas when he turned 3. Ethan was not into tools like Danny. It sat in Mary's basement until we got rid of it a couple of years later. I'm sure you won't have that problem.
We will not be getting rid of the tool station any time soon. Cate loves it too. He keeps asking me for pieces of real wood so he can build things.
