Pierce and the radio
Pierce got a handheld radio as a stocking stuffer last Christmas. It looks like a "gadget" from the movie The Incredibles. He's very fond of it.
The thing chews through batteries fairly quickly given the limited amount of use it gets. The other morning, while Nora and I were still in bed, we could hear Pierce downstairs getting frustrated about something. Anna came up a few minutes later to tell us Pierce was upset that the batteries in the radio were dead. Then it got quiet and we fell back to sleep.
When we got up and asked Pierce if he needed help with the radio he told us "no", he'd taken care of it. He'd put new batteries in himself. Hmmm, normally you have to unscrew the cover to change the batteries. So we asked him, "how did you get the cover off"? He got a screwdriver, unscrewed the cover, replaced the battery, screwed the cover back on, and put the screwdriver away.
Wow.
