I am so glad that Lowell has handed his starred paper in, not just because he is around a little more, but for now the stress level has decreased. Lowell’s paper was due Friday but I had to work Thursday and Friday nights, so Lowell had to babysit as well. Desperate times call for desperate measures so L got to watch alot of TV. Friday morning after I woke up L and I went for a walk in the rain to burn some energy (I needed him to nap in the afternoon). We had a great time.
Curious George came to Barnes n’ Noble on Saturday. He is one of L’s favourite characters so we made a trip there Saturday. L seemed quite thrilled to see George, as long as he was free to observe from ontop of Dad’s shoulders.
Today I did some sewing. L was quite content to sit beside me and work on his own projects, today he was fascinated with the scissors. Since he is the only kid around and I do have a blunt pair of scissors L got to practise opening and closing and cutting paper. Once he got over the fact that cut paper can’t go back together he had fun.
I was actually working on a little backpack for L. I wear a backpack often and L has started tucking a rectangular piece of wood into his waistband and calling it his backpack. Well I thought I could do better than that; I recycled a pair of ripped jeans and found some Thomas the Tank Engine fabric from Helen in my fabric drawer. Many thanks to Helen for passing along your “scraps”, one person’s junk is another person’s treasure.
He was very excited! The plan is to put it away until Christmas, hopefully he doesn’t look around for it tomorrow morning.
