We have a new visitor planning a trip to our house-- the Easter Bunny! It's good to turn our attention a bit as we are still obsessed fixated thoughtful about the Leprechaun-- or as I like to think of him, the one that got away.
Last week, James came home from school fired up to tell me about a craft he made. Now--one thing you need to know about James, he rarely gets excited about craft time and often boycotts holding a marker or pen. Most kids his age are working on writing, we are hoping that the tech revolution continues so that we can enroll him in typing lessons-- because this kid wants no part of a crayon.
If James is excited about a project, I get a little fluttery to see what my sweet Picasso has created. Expectations aren't super high as I didn't birth the next generation design star but I am encouraged nonetheless.
So when James took out his backpack and carefully handed me a piece of green computer paper that he had torn in half, I was a little confused. I turned it over looking for the "creation." But nope, just a blank piece of torn paper.
James: "Do you love it?"
Me: "Yeaaaaah."
James: "I made it."
Me: "I seeeeeeee. . . What is it?"
James: "It's a leprechaun blanket. You know in case, he gets cold when he visits us."
Naturally, the little guy might want to be tucked in. Everybody loves a blankie.
We are turning our attention now-- in fact, Easter Bunny has a pink egg waiting for him. (You know, in case he gets hungry.) The mythical creatures in this house will get nothing but five-star hospitality.
