Wanton acts of violence
Cut and paste
from this little
boxy thing below
This is what I found first thing yesterday morning at 5:10 a.m.
I really wanted to be angry as they were new for Christmas and it’s a bit nippy around here in the mornings.
I was secretly pleased as it’s a rare thing for anyone to voluntarily pick up a pair of scissors and use them as a tool purposefully.
I decided I would attempt a minor correction to this behaviour so that it doesn’t become a trend.
When I approached him he was so excited and chatterful that it was hard to get a word in edgeways, let alone an admonition.
Eventually after a great deal of gamboling he was able to show me how he had copied the illustration from his game:- Pokemon Ranger Kellen.
They could almost be twins! I did wonder why he was voluntarily dressed so early in the morning. I did wonder about the shorts in the middle of winter, to say nothing of the sleeveless shirt.
I’ll stop now as I think my bias is showing.

He’s got his mother’s flair for the creative!

Wow, guess you couldn’t really say too much after that, huh? lol

Oh, wow! So much for the garment being “destroyed.” You’ll have to see him wear it constantly now, just like Elf does with his little Elf suit. :]

That happens around here a lot. Both the costuming and the cutting of things that I’d rather were left uncut. But the creativity is worth celebrating!

Actually, there’s a lot to be said for fingerless gloves. Y’all know about trying to insulate small cylinders, right? How the surface area goes up faster than the insulating value? Not to mention better manipulation of things.

Every day is an adventure at your house, isn’t it? Wish you lived close.

My boys are nuts. I wrote a note to the school to tell them the supervisors could desist from forcing them to wear their coats at recess. I told them I’d take full responsibility.
That said, as I see their blue legs sometimes I think I should pin a note to them that says, “these are not neglected children”.

My son would have done the same and then come to me and say “hey look mom, how great is this…” And be thankful that you didnt get expensive leather ones!!!

Excavator, I’m thinking of having T-shirts printed. Perhaps we should go in on an order?
Killer fashion sense, that boy! I sometimes wonder if we’re the only parents thinking about developmental milestones presented in situations for which one must then chastise one’s offspring. I was so proud the first time my son managed to lie to me! Then I had to nip that in the bud.
