Kid followed dad to work

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young father, Will Rudd, who works as a site manager, shared adorable photos of his three-year-old son on LinkedIn specially dressed for work.

The man revealed that they always passed by his workplace whenever he took him to his school. Each time, the young child would ask his dad if he can build houses with him.

One day, Rudd gave him a chance, dressed the kid in a site jacket and helmet. He revealed that the kid was so excited by the opportunity.
