The cutest one ever, was his carton of "eggs". He brought home an egg-carton, and in each of the egg-holes, he'd carefully placed bottle-tops. When I babysat his little friend, one evening, she threw all the bottle-tops around the room, and my poor little man was horrified, and had to scramble under the couch and collect all his "eggs".
I love seeing his drawings (I think he's quite talented, but that could be just proud mama with her rose-coloured glasses on...).
The dilemma is what to do with them all. I don't have the heart to throw them out, because they're just so adorable.
So I created our very own Wall of Fame.
Problem solved.
Now, I'm well aware that you will never see this splendid idea on Better Homes and Gardens. Bit too messy-looking, and doesn't suit the clean, modern look, but I quite like it. Makes our home seem warm and welcoming.
Below is the latest artwork of his family. He "forgot" to draw his baby brother.
I particularly like how we've all got vampire fangs...
When he was a baby, an older work colleague of mine, suggested keeping a notebook of all the funny little things he says and does, as he grows up, so that I don't forget.
I'm really glad I took her advice because, already, I would have forgotten so much.
For instance, we always give thanks before our meals. One evening, at the tender age of 3, he volunteered to say "grace". Hubby and I looked at each other, and wondered what on earth he was going to come out with.
It went like this: "Thank you for Jesus........For eating.......and.......Amen"
We could barely say "Amen".
We were too busy, bursting with pride.
