Today, I took Justin to his first theatre production - other than a couple of puppet shows. (One spectacular! The other, not so great.) He was ENTRANCED. The play "Brilliant" is about dark vs. light: you go to bed and everything's dark but your imagination runs wild and everything around you becomes light. It was so brilliantly done that, at one point, Justin was reaching for the rays of light surrounding us. He thoroughly enjoyed it and I loved having some one-on-one time with my son.
On the way home we talked about his upcoming birthday and had the following interesting conversation:
M: "So what are we going to do when you turn four?"
J: "Maybe I can sew with you."
M: "Sew, huh? You mean like on my sewing machine?"
J: "Yes."
M: "What would we make?"
J: "Maybe another blanket for me. I want a yellow blanket."
M: "Okay. And maybe we can make you another towel, with a hood."
J: "And straps."
M: "Straps?"
J: "Yea, so you can strap me in to get dry and unstrap me when I need to get out."
M: "Oh, you mean something more like a robe?"
J: "No, I mean a very interesting towel. That's what I want."
The wheels in my head are spinning . . . Any suggestions?

What a fun little date you had with your son. UM... No suggestions here but maybe Renee would have some. She always has great sewing ideas.
