The Latest

The latest obsession is knights. He reads about knights, dresses up like a knight, pretends every ordinary household object is a medieval weapon, rides the armrest of the couch to practice jousting, and requests that we both “get angry and spring to action!!”



Yesterday, when I picked him up from school, he was running around the playground with a bucket on his head while brandishing a shovel. This behavior was tricky to explain. Actually, I sort of feigned ignorance.

Hehee I prophesy you guys will grow from obsession to obsession...

I bought E those exact gumboots and he refused to wear them. I thought they were just the cutest but alas, had to take them right back

Does he have the playskool castle with all the little knights and the cannonballs? We had some fun with that plastic item, let me tell you.

okay, so that's good, you're on top of that. How about the animated Disney classic, Sword in the Stone? And no offense, but a better knight's hat? I just think we could do a little better with that knight wardrobe.
